ABSTRACT

Indicators of quality and safety, as well as the useful properties of spring water, artesian bottled water and water from a municipal water supply systems are assessed. All the investigated samples of bottled drinking well water satisfy regulatory requirements for defined quality parameters. Biotesting analysis of the samples of water using two test organisms: crustacean Daphnia Magna and freshwater aquarium fish Poecillia Reticulata Peters confirmed the presence of different pollutants in spring water. Risks of oral use of investigated water are calculated. In terms of the quality of groundwater for the study area is characterized by Russian acceptable level of risk, which indicates a moderate anthropogenic pressure on ecosystems and the environment.
