Nine domestic and three imported bottled water brands were analyzed in Saudi Arabia for various physicochemical water quality parameters. The results of the analysis were compared with the drinking water standards set by different regulatory agencies. The levels of different physicochemical parameters like pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), Ca, Mg, Na, K, NO(3), Cl, and SO(4) of all local and imported bottled water brands met the standards set by different regulatory agencies. Fifteen (15) trace metals viz. Al, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Sr, Pb, and Zn were also analyzed in all the samples. Comparison of analyzed results with the reported label values showed considerable variation for different parameters. Variation was also recorded for the analyzed parameters for 3 bottles of the same bottled water brand, both for local and imported bottled waters. Zamzam water was also collected from Makkah Al Mukarrama from different locations and analyzed for various physical and chemical parameters. Bottled waters were also compared with the city municipal water supply and Zamzam water.
在沙特阿拉伯,分析了 9 个国产和 3 个进口瓶装水品牌的各种理化水质参数。将分析结果与不同监管机构设定的饮用水标准进行了比较。所有本地和进口瓶装水品牌的不同理化参数(如 pH 值、总溶解固体(TDS)、Ca、Mg、Na、K、NO3、Cl 和 SO4)水平均符合不同监管机构设定的标准。还对所有样品中的 15 种痕量金属(Al、As、Ba、Be、Cd、Co、Cr、Cu、Fe、Mn、Mo、Ni、Sr、Pb 和 Zn)进行了分析。将分析结果与报告的标签值进行比较,发现不同参数之间存在相当大的差异。对于同一瓶装水品牌的 3 瓶水,无论是国产还是进口瓶装水,分析参数也存在差异。还从不同地点的麦加 Al Mukarrama 收集了扎姆扎姆水,并对其进行了各种物理和化学参数的分析。将瓶装水与城市市政供水和扎姆扎姆水进行了比较。
