The concentration levels revealed in this work were compared to the maximum concentration levels allowed by the WHO and other international standards, and as a result, a water sample of one brand, from the natural waters of Izmir, contained a total arsenic level (11.36 μg As/L) exceeding national and international standards.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Within the scope of this work, 30 brands of bottled water sold in the Izmir Province of Turkey, were investigated for the levels of 6 trace metals (Al, Cr, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) important for public health and drinking water quality.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The highest metal ion concentrations obtained in the analyses of the samples was found to be 102.99 μg Al/L, 1.80 μg Cr/L, 40.22 μg Cu/L, 11.36 μg As/L, 0.08 μg Cd/L, and 2.79 μg Pb/L.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The concentration levels revealed in this work were compared to the maximum concentration levels allowed by the WHO and other international standards, and as a result, a water sample of one brand, from the natural waters of Izmir, contained a total arsenic level (11.36 μg As/L) exceeding national and international standards.

Abstract

Within the scope of this work, 30 brands of bottled water sold in the Izmir Province of Turkey, were investigated for the levels of 6 trace metals (Al, Cr, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) important for public health and drinking water quality. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used for the analysis of the trace metals. The highest metal ion concentrations obtained in the analyses of the samples was found to be 102.99 μg Al/L, 1.80 μg Cr/L, 40.22 μg Cu/L, 11.36 μg As/L, 0.08 μg Cd/L, and 2.79 μg Pb/L. The concentration levels revealed in this work were compared to the maximum concentration levels allowed by the WHO and other international standards, and as a result, a water sample of one brand, from the natural waters of Izmir, contained a total arsenic level (11.36 μg As/L) exceeding national and international standards.

Özet

Bu çalışma kapsamında, İzmir ilinde ticari olarak satışı yapılan 30 farklı markaya ait şişe suyu örneklerinde, insan sağlığı ve içme suyu kalitesi açısından önemli olan 6 iz elementin (Al, Cr, Cu, As, Cd ve Pb) total varlığı araştırılmıştır. İz metallerin analizinde indüktif olarak eşleştirilmiş plazma-kütle spektrometresi kullanılmıştır. Örneklerin yapılan analizleri sonucunda elde edilen en yüksek metal iyonu konsantarasyonları 102,99 μg Al/L, 1,80 μg Cr/L, 40,22 μg Cu/L, 11,36 μg As/L, 0,08 μg Cd/L ve 2,79 μg Pb/L olarak bulunmuştur. Elde edilen konsantrasyonların 98/83/EC, WHO ve ulusal standartlardaki maksimum konsantrasyonlarla karşılaştırılması sonucunda İzmir ilinde satışı yapılan doğal kaynak sularından bir markaya ait su örneğinde toplam arsenik miktarının (11,36 μg As L-1) ulusal ve uluslar arası limitleri aştığı belirlenmiştir.
