“…According to previous studies, isotope fractionation does not occur without water–rock interaction and significant evaporation, and these mechanisms reflect the surface water and rainwater 8 . Fractionation of δ 18 O did not occur during the manufacturing process of bottled water products, and the isotopic ratios of the water source area demonstrated that the fractionation effect was insignificant, according to the groundwater temperature range observed in South Korea (within 80°C) 23 . Furthermore, the first Jirisan Sansu water sample was collected from Hadong‐gun, and the second sample was collected from Sancheong‐gun.…”

The production of bottled water requires a forensic discriminant technique that enables the identification of the brands or accidents caused by intended contaminants. The bottled water poisoning crimes have drawn much attention, and such crimes may recur in the future. The water is colorless and odorless, and thus it is difficult to detect contaminated water through visual observation. Thus, bottled water can be easily exploited for poisoning, and a method for tracing their origin is currently required.Methods: In this study, a total of 27 brands of bottled water samples were analyzed to determine stable oxygen isotopes, strontium isotopes, major and trace elements. The geographical origin of the water was traced based on the climatic and geographical characteristics of the location from where water was sourced, which was assumed to be reflected in the bottled water. Furthermore, we investigated whether this method can be applied to identify bottled water products. Results:The results demonstrated that the characteristics of the bottled water, including the oxygen stable isotope ratios, reflect the latitude and altitude of bottled water source in South Korea, from the high-latitude region to the coastal regions. In addition, the results indicated that excellent discrimination was achieved using strontium isotopes to identify source areas with different types of bedrock, complex underlying lithologies, and ocean areas in South Korea. A statistical method based on discriminant analysis was applied to measure trace elements, and the results effectively reflected the characteristics of water-rock interactions (cross-validated classification probability: ≥92%).Conclusions: These data suggest that the geographical characteristics of the source area are well reflected in commercial bottled water in South Korea. The proposed analytical methods can be utilized to trace the geographical origin of different bottled water samples and identify bottled water products used in poisoning crimes.

The as-fabricated g-SnS2 and SnS2 nanoparticles were characterized for crystal structure through X-ray diffraction analyses performed through a Philips X'PERT powder X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation. The surface morphology, size of the particles and diffraction rings of the prepared g-SnS2 were analyzed through TEM, HRTEM and SAED via JOEL JEM 2100 instrument. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of g-SnS2 was performed using PHI 5000 VersaProbe III spectrometer. SEM and EDAX were performed to evaluate elements' structure and elemental composition using FEI Quanta FEG 200-High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscope. Photoluminescence spectra were recorded from the Varian Cary eclipse fluorescence spectrophotometer. Bruker Hyperion 3000 FTIR

Bottled waters are among the most important products in the human diet. In Morocco, eleven bottled mineral waters were analyzed (physicochemical composition and water stable isotopes) to identify their geologic origins and hydrochemical characteristics. The study of the ionic ratios shows that the mechanisms of water–rock interaction, such as the dissolution of carbonate and silicate minerals, influence the chemistry of these mineral waters, which are controlled by lithology and tectonics, sometimes with the influence of deep flux through fractures. The water from the Oulmes plateau shows a Na-HCO3 chemical facies in relationship with alkaline granite. Moreover, the carbonated waters (EMG and EMGL) are characterized by high concentrations of Si, Li, Rb, Sr, and Cs due to deep CO2 flux origin. The waters of Saiss, Middle Atlas, and Rif are of the Ca-HCO3 type linked mainly to carbonate formation. The stable isotope contents of water range from −7.74 to −5.35‰ for δ18O and −45.4 to −30.4‰ for δD. The recharge altitude of the aquifer was estimated to be between 250 and 1200 m, following a δ18O altitudinal gradient between 0.25 and 0.27‰ per 100 m. The industrial production process and the natural presence or artificial addition of CO2 can also influence the isotopic composition of water. These results can be a relevant guide to decision makers for better exploitation and assessment of the water quality.
