“…A factor analysis study confirmed that the distribution of certain groups of elements mainly reflects the geological patterns (Bertoldi et al, 2011). Similar results were found by Bityukova and Petersell (2010) when analysing five commercial bottled water brands of Estonia: the difference in chemical composition of the bottled waters is linked to host rocks' geology in the studied area. These experiments did not tell anything about the sensory characteristics of the tested waters.…”

“…The electrical conductivity (EC) can be used as an indirect measurement of dissolved solids in the water (Bityukova and Petersell 2010). The major cause of nitrate in the water is industrial, domestic effluents, fertilizers, decayed animals and plant material, farm leachates and atmospheric washout (Kahlown 2006), Excess of nitrate may cause infantile methaemoglobinaemia (USEPA 1977) and gastric cancer (Xu 1981).…”

The present study was aimed to assess drinking water quality regarding arsenic (As) and its impact on health from Mailsi (Punjab), Pakistan. Forty four groundwater samples were collected from two sites Sarganaand Mailsi. Arsenic and other cations were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer, whereas the anions were determined either through titration or spectrophotometer. The results revealed that dominant anions were HCO 3 -and Cl -and Ca +2 was the dominant cation andoverall water chemistry of the area was CaMgHCO 3 -type. Arsenic concentrations were high, rangedfrom 11 to 828 µg/L that crossed the World Health Organization permissible limits. Likewise, higher SO 4 -2 concentrations ranging from 247 to 1053 mg/L were observed. The health risk index was higher in Sargana site which employed the differences in terms of higher Average Daily Dose,,Hazard Quotient , and Carcinogenic Risk of arsenic. which is unsuitable for drinking purpose. The area seems to be at high risk due to arsenic Downloaded by [University of Otago] at 05:24 06 July 2015 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2 pollution and wells have never been tested for arsenic concentrations earlier, therefore necessary measures should be taken to test the wells with respect to arsenic.

A first impression of the geochemistry and quality of European ground water was obtained by using bottled mineral water as a sampling medium. In total, 1785 bottled waters were purchased from supermarkets of forty European countries, representing 1247 wells/drill holes/springs at 884 locations. All bottled waters were analysed for 72 parameters at the laboratories of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) in Germany. The European geochemical maps give a first impression of the natural variation in ground water at the continental scale. The majority of European bottled waters are classified as of Ca-HCO 3 type, because of the widespread carbonate lithologies, but there is considerable variation from Na-HCO 3 type related to granitic rocks to Na-Cl type associated with deep saline brines. Since, the dominating lithology in Hellas comprises limestone, dolomitic limestone, marble, and mafic-ultramafic rocks (ophiolites), the dominant major ions in Hellenic bottled waters are Ca The source aquifers of Hellenic bottled water are apparently continuously replenished by fresh water. Chromium, V and U are discussed, because of their importance in Hellenic ground water. In Europe, the former is clearly related to ophiolites, whereas V indicates the presence of recent volcanism and basaltic rocks, and U is associated with granitic intrusions and Bunter (central England) and Keuper (central Europe) sandstone of early and late Triassic, respectively. It can, therefore, be concluded that geology is one of the key factors influencing the observed element concentrations for a significant number of elements. ΠερίληψηΣτην Ευρώπη είναι κατεγραμμένες πάνω από 1.900 μάρκες εμφιαλωμένων «με-ταλλικών νερών», η προέλευση των οποίων είναι από υπόγειους υδροφορείς. Η αγορά των εμφιαλωμένων νερών αναπτύσσεται με γοργούς ρυθμούς ως η κύρια παροχή πόσιμου νερού για το γενικό πληθυσμό σε μεγάλα τμήματα της Ευρω-παϊκής ηπείρου. Συνεπώς, θεωρήθηκε ότι η ανάλυσή τους μπορεί να αποτελέσει μιά φθηνή δυνατότητα, πρώτης προσέγγισης, της χημικής σύστασης των υπόγει-ων υδάτων των Ευρωπαϊκών χωρών.
