“…At the same time, these natural mineral waters are characterized by their high purity at the source, respectively free of contaminants of anthropogenic origin. Scientific literature confirms the fact that, due to their varied origin, the composition of natural mineral waters is unique for each water source and gives it a characteristic taste and specific properties, beneficial for human health, which can also be exploited for therapeutic purposes [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

In this study, six natural mineral waters (from sources named 1bis, 5, 10, 14, 15, “Sonda 2”) with therapeutic potential from Slanic Moldova area (Romania) were assessed for physico-chemical parameters during storage in different conditions (bottled in PET or glass containers and kept at 20-22 °C or 4 °C) for a period of maximum 360 days. The main parameters investigated were pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, salinity, as well as the major ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, F−, Cl−, SO4 2−, HCO3 −), using fast and environmentally friendly instrumental techniques (electrochemical and spectrometric / UV-Vis and ICP-MS). The physico-chemical indicators were measured at six time intervals (within 24 hours, after 7, 30, 90, 180 and 360 days) and the results obtained indicated that the pH variation was significant for the majority of samples kept at room temperature in PET containers (between 0.4 pH units - Spring 15 and over 2 pH units - springs 10, 14, 1bis and 5), while cold storage is most favorable for all natural mineral water samples. The monitoring of the chemical parameters determined during cold storage in glass containers did not reveal statistically significant variations and therefore it can be considered that these natural mineral waters are characterized by the stability of the chemical composition. For the entire analyzed period, the smallest variations of all twelve analyzed parameters were recorded for “Sonda 2”, in all storage conditions, followed by springs 1bis, 15, 14, 10 and 5 stored at 4 °C in glass containers.

“…In addition to organic substances, A. ursinum contains a large number of inorganic components, such as biogenic elements (BEs) like K, Ca, Mg, Na, Ni, and Mn, as well as potentially toxic elements (PTEs) like B, Al, Mn, Ni, Hg, Pb, and Cd [ 5 ]. Vuković et al [ 6 ] stated that other species of the genus Allium have a pronounced ability to accumulate both BEs and PTEs.…”

“…Two sites, S1 and S2, showed pH values of water more than 8.5, which is not considerable for drinking while other sites are safe. A study was reported in drinking water pH about more than 7.40[24,25,26]. Significantly higher or lower pH can be harmful for the human body and not safe for drinking purposes.…”

“…High pH results in an unpleasant taste; it reduces the efficacy of chlorine disinfection, necessitating the use of extra chlorine. Metals and other materials corrode or dissolve in low-pH water[26,27].…”

This study was estimating the physicochemical parameters of water and preparing the water quality index for drinking water in a residential area of Bilaspur city. Fifty water samples were collected from ten sites and analyzed six parameters of water quality by using the portable multi-parameter water quality meter (Hanna Instruments: HI98194). The results of water quality were statistically different for sites (p<0.001). During the study, the average water pH (8.326±0.67), water temperature (27.349±0.207 °C), dissolved oxygen (7.775±0.034 mg/l), total dissolved solids (526.46±0.781mg/l), electrical conductivity of water (391.6±0.79 mg/l), and oxygen reduction potential (-32.715±0.21 mV) were recorded. The positive correlation was observed between EC and TDS (r = 0.935) and pH and ORP (r = 0.802), while the negative correlation was observed between DO and temperature. The range of the WQI was observed to be 383.67 to 530.87, and there was a statistically difference at for sites (p<0.001).
