Assessment of chemical variability of major bottled waters in Sri Lanka

Abstract: Bottled water is one of the major drinking water sources for travellers in tourist hubs in Sri Lanka. In this study, 32 major bottled water brands sold in the country were analyzed with 19 parameters by means of atomic absorption spectrometer, spectrophotometer and titration. The main objective of the present study is to investigate geochemical variations of Sri Lankan bottled waters in order to identify the main geochemical processes. A comparison of the element concentrations and the legal limits (Sri Lanka,… Show more

“…The mineral content in TN is low compared to most mineral waters. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Orthosilicic acid (hereaer referred to as "silica", as oen done when describing the composition of natural mineral water) represents 33% of the dry residue. Its pH is equal to 5.8.…”
