[Determination of content of zinc and cooper in table and therapeutic mineral water].

Mineral table water and therapeutic water are good sources of macro- and microelement. Increase of consumption and variety of kinds of mineral water was the reason for undertaking this research. Contents of zinc and copper were determined in 13 kinds of mineral table water and in 12 kinds of therapeutic water by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry method (AAS) in Pye-Unicam SP0192 apparatus, after earlier concentration. Content of copper in mineral table water was from 0.4 microgram/l in "Krynica Zdrój" water to 11 micrograms/l in "Mazowszanka" water and in therapeutic water and from 1.7 micrograms/l to 22.6 micrograms/l. Content of zinc in mineral table water was from 7 micrograms/l to 640 micrograms/l and in therapeutic water was from 24 micrograms/l to 88 micrograms/l.
