The purpose of this paper was to monitor the quality of mineral water in the springs: Poklek and Verboc, in the area of Gllogoc, through analysis: physic-chemical and heavy metals. Water quality monitoring is mandatory, especially if it's used as drinking water, therefore mineral springs (Poklek-Verboc), contain various minerals, such as salts and sulfur composition. Further research is planned to be conducted for the physico-chemical characterization, which will follow up on time to time the changes in the composition of the various components of this water. Today it is much more common for mineral water to be bottled and used for drinking. Water should be rich in minerals beneficial to the human body, where, among the minerals we mention: Magnesium that protects the heart, kidneys, muscular system, and helps digestion: Calcium as a constituent of bone and important for the dental system: Bicarbonates in significant amounts, aid digestion and are positive, for assimilating energy in the right form, etc. The analysis of the mineral water in this work involved the determination of several physico-chemical parameters (COD, BOD, conductivity, pH value, etc) and some heavy metals (Zn,
In this paper, as our main goal, we had the analysis of heavy metals in the water and sludge of wells, in residential areas, and the land near these wells, in the villages: Vrajak, Ratkoc and Rogovë, in the area of Rahovec. Also, the physic-chemical parameters have been our goal in the study, to make the assessment of the current situation, taking into account the climatic factors, at the time when we did the analysis. Groundwater was characterized with high solubility of salts (high or medium hardness), in contrast to surface waters, especially those at high altitudes, where the amount of magnesium and calcium salts, is smaller. Thus, it is very important to assess the quality of water in wells used as drinking water sources by people living in these villages in the municipality of Rahovec. Sampling was done in the monthly period (August/2018). By using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the concentrations of 10 elements were determined in: water, sludge and soil samples (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn).
In order to evaluate the possible exploitation of thermal mineral water of Peja baths, for the health needs of the population, in the rehabilitation center, which was built near these waters, so far no appropriate scientific research is taken to evaluate them. The conceptual, professional, scientific and functional solution in this regard will results in the search for a new location destined for the next projections additional pools. This should be done in order to enable the population to use this natural wealth, for health and their commercial needs. Further research is planned to be conducted for the physico-chemical characterization, which will follow up on time to time the changes in the composition of the various components of this water. The analysis of the thermos-mineral water in this work involved the determination of several physico-chemical parameters (COD, BOD, conductivity, pH value, etc.) and some heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb, Cd, Zn, etc).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
