Abstract:
The chemical quality of six commercially available bottled water samples were analyzed and compared with WHO and EC guidelines. Chemical quality of some anionic and cationic balance were analyzed by standard 8000 photometer transmittance and flame emission spectrophotometer methods. Sodium and aluminum were found entirely absent in all analyzed bottled water samples. Fluoride content of analyzed water is less than minimum permissible value recommended by WHO guideline. Magnesium and calcium content range from 0.32 ppm to 6.5 ppm and 3 ppm to 28.2 ppm respectively. Recorded results showed that great variation exists in the chemical content of all the six commercially available bottled water.
