“…Few studies related to the compositions and properties of mineral natural waters from the Harghita-Covasna area have been reported (Babaua et al 2003;Baiulescu et al 1972). In order to get more information on the composition of the mineral natural waters located in this area and to find out whether they are proper for consumption and/or for therapeutic usage we have monitored some groundwaters collected from the Harghita and Covasna counties (Fig.…”

This paper reports the results obtained for the determination of Ba concentrations in mineral groundwater samples collected from drilled outlets located in the counties of Covasna and Harghita (34 sampling points), in five expeditions (spring, summer, and autumn), during 3 years: 2005, 2006, and 2007. The experimental data show that there are some sampling sites in which the barium concentration exceeds 1 mg/L, which is the maximum concentration admitted for barium. These mineral natural waters could be used only for therapeutic purposes. All other analyzed natural mineral waters are proper as both drinking and therapeutic water. By means of a principal component analysis a statistical approach was performed, using the data obtained during those analyzing processes. The distribution of the water saturation indexes with respect to a series of mineral species (alstonite, barite, barytocalcite, nitrobarite, sanbornite, and witherite) suggests that barium tends to remain in solution as ionic species in different concentrations and to be further carried away as such.

“…Because of the high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and relative freedom from interference ICP-AES is a powerful tool for the accurate measurement of the concentration of each element in different types of samples and in a wide concentration range, from trace quantities of elements to much larger quantities that may constitute the major component of the sample (Moreda-Piñeiro et al 2005;Matei et al 2004;Babaua et al 2003;Stoica et al 2004;Mendes et al 2006).…”

Sampling streams for metals is an important aspect of water-quality monitoring. Using ICP-AES the concentration of some microelements in the Ialomiţa River (Romania) were determined. In order to grasp the different phases of the river regime, samples were collected from its water-sediment interface at seven locations along the river, during three campaigns: during snow melting periods in the mountain zones (April), the period of reduced flow and high water temperature (August) and the period of high precipitations (November). HNO3 was added to the samples for fixation. Cadmium and copper appear accidentally; lead was detected only in samples collected in the vicinity of roads; the MAC (maximum admitted concentration) for surface waters is exceeded for nickel and chromium in samples collected in April and respectively in April and November; zinc concentrations were usually above the MAC; molybdenum concentration was above the set reference value, especially for samples collected in April and November. Possible explanations are given for the presence of the investigated microelements along the river.
