Maximum admissible concentration level (MACL) of barium in natural mineral waters, natural spring waters and potable waters was set at the level of 1 mg/l, while MACL of this element in natural curative waters intended for drinking therapies and inhalations were set at the levels of 1.0 mg/l and 10.0 mg/l, respectively. Those requirements were related to therapies which are applied longer than one month. Above mentioned maximum admissible concentration levels of barium in consumed waters were established after taking into account actual criteria of World Health Organization which determined the guidelines value for this element in water intended for human consumption at the level of 0.7 mg/l. In this work developed and validated method of determination of barium by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry technique was applied for determination of this element in 45 natural curative waters sampled from 24 spa districts situated on the area of Poland. Concentrations of barium determined were in the range from 0.0036 mg/l to 24.0 mg/l. Natural curative waters characterized by concentrations of barium in the ranges of 0.0036 - 0.073 mg/l, 0.0036 - 1.31 mg/l and 0.0036 - 24.0 mg/l, were applied to drinking therapy, inhalations and balneotherapy, respectively (some of waters analyzed were simultaneously applied to drinking therapy, inhalations and balneotherapy). In the cases of 11 natural curative waters exceeding limit of 1 mg/l were observed, however they were classified mainly as waters applied to balneotherapy and in two cases to inhalation therapies (concentrations of barium - 1.08 mg/l and 1.31 mg/l). The procedure of classification of curative waters for adequate therapies based among other things on barium concentrations meets requirements of the Decree of Minister of Health from 13 April 2006 on the range of studies indispensable for establishing medicinal properties of natural curative materials and curative properties of climate, criteria of their assessment and a specimen of certificate confirmed those properties.
天然矿泉水、天然泉水和饮用水中钡的最大容许浓度水平（MACL）设定为1毫克/升，而用于饮用疗法和吸入疗法的天然医疗用水中该元素的MACL分别设定为1.0毫克/升和10.0毫克/升。这些要求适用于持续时间超过一个月的疗法。考虑到世界卫生组织的实际标准后，确定了上述消费用水中钡的最大容许浓度水平，该标准将供人类消费的水中该元素的指导值设定为0.7毫克/升。在这项工作中，采用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱技术开发并验证的钡测定方法，用于测定从波兰境内24个温泉区采集的45份天然医疗用水中的该元素。测定的钡浓度范围为0.0036毫克/升至24.0毫克/升。钡浓度范围为0.0036 - 0.073毫克/升、0.0036 - 1.31毫克/升和0.0036 - 24.0毫克/升的天然医疗用水，分别用于饮用疗法、吸入疗法和浴疗法（部分分析的水同时用于饮用疗法、吸入疗法和浴疗法）。在11份天然医疗用水中观察到超过1毫克/升的限值，但它们主要归类为用于浴疗法的水，有两例用于吸入疗法（钡浓度分别为1.08毫克/升和1.31毫克/升）。基于钡浓度等因素对医疗用水进行适当疗法分类的程序，符合2006年4月13日卫生部关于确定天然医疗材料药用特性和气候治疗特性所需研究范围、评估标准以及确认这些特性的证书样本的法令要求。
