Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In Europe around 1900, "mineral water" brands began to be officially registered and bottled for consumption, with groundwater rapidly becoming a primary source of drinking water. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry of groundwaters from 40 European countries, based on 1785 bottled water samples representing 1189 distinct brands from 1247 wells in 884 locations, alongside 500 tap water samples collected in 2008 by EuroGeoSurveys experts. Unlike previous compilations, all chemical data were analyzed in a single laboratory under stringent quality control, resulting in a high-quality, consistent dataset. More than 70 parameters were measured using advanced analytical techniques with ultra-low detection limits. The geographical diversity of the water sources allows for a unique assessment of groundwater geochemistry across Europe, presenting a detailed overview of the natural distribution and variation of chemical elements. Most elements exhibit a wide range of concentration variation, influenced by factors such as soil, vegetation, and bottling effects. The book also compares bottled waters with European tap waters and outlines the legal framework governing bottled water in the EU, including drinking water action levels and relevant directives. An accompanying CD contains extensive datasets and previously published water chemistry data.
