Nitrate, sulphate and chloride contents in public drinking water supplies in Sicily, Italy.
2012
Water samples collected from public drinking water supplies in Sicily were analysed for electric conductivity and for their chloride, sulphate and nitrate contents. The samples were collected as uniformly as possible from throughout the Sicilian territory, with an average sampling density of about one sample for every 7,600 inhabitants. Chloride contents that ranged from 5.53 to 1,302 mg/l were correlated strongly with electric conductivity, a parameter used as a proxy for water salinity. The highest values are attributable to seawater contamination along the coasts of the island. High chloride and sulphate values attributable to evaporitic rock dissolution were found in the central part of…
Fluoruro en aguas minerales naturales envasadas en España y prevención de la caries dental
2015
ResumenObjetivoEl propósito del estudio es conocer la concentración en flúor de las aguas minerales naturales comercializadas en España para poder prevenir la caries dental sin el riesgo de causar fluorosis dental.DiseñoEstudio descriptivo y transversal a lo largo de 2012.EmplazamientoAguas minerales naturales comercializadas en España.ParticipantesTres muestras con fechas distintas de embotellado de 109 marcas de aguas minerales naturales (97 marcas españolas y 12 aguas importadas).Medición principalDeterminación analítica por cromatografía iónica del contenido en fluoruro en el agua.ResultadosLa concentración mediana de fluoruro de las aguas minerales naturales españolas es de 0,22 (rango…
Agua de bebida en el lactante
2004
Se revisan tipos de aguas de consumo público y aguas de bebida envasadas. Se realizan recomendaciones sobre las características que debe reunir el agua destinada al lactante. Para la reconstitución correcta de todas las fórmulas de inicio comercializadas en España, el contenido en sodio debe ser menor de 25 mg/l. El agua de consumo público debe hervirse un máximo de 1 min (a nivel del mar) para evitar la excesiva concentración de sales. No precisa de ebullición el agua de bebida envasada. El nivel de flúor debe ser menor de 0,3 mg/l en el primer año de vida para evitar fluorosis. La concentración de nitratos en agua debe ser menor de 25 mg/l para evitar metahemoglobinemia. Aguas con una con…
Security Standards Applied to Drinking Water
2021
This chapter presents security standards as applied to drinking water, based on the assumption that freshwater sources face huge threats for humankind both qualitatively and quantitatively due to uncertain global changes, namely population growth, rapid urbanization, and climate change. The study investigates whether the International Featured Standards (IFS—Food), which are complementary to HACCP (Hazard analysis and critical control point), can be used as a system of indicators to measure water security. The case study focuses on bottled water, by identifying structural and contingent risk factors for water as essential food and investigates the suitability of the IFS instrument as an ind…
ChemInform Abstract: Chemical Compounds and Toxicological Assessments of Drinking Water Stored in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottles: A Source …
2012
A declaration of conformity according to European regulation No. 10/2011 is required to ensure the safety of plastic materials in contact with foodstuffs. This regulation established a positive list of substances that are authorized for use in plastic materials. Some compounds are subject to restrictions and/or specifications according to their toxicological data. Despite this, the analysis of PET reveals some non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) produced by authorized initial reactants and additives. Genotoxic and estrogenic activities in PET-bottled water have been reported. Chemical mixtures in bottled water have been suggested as the source of these toxicological effects. Furthermo…
