“…5); The CV was 151% for this period. The hourly and yearly median value for TW iodine concentration for the same city (Rehovot) is quite different (0.39 and 2.9 µg I L -1 ) and much lower than the minimal value (5-50 µg I L -1 ) proposed by Rosborg et al as a risk-reducing iodine content for drinking water [8].…”

“…The mean concentration of total iodine in drinking water in USA is 4 µg I L -1 with a maximal reported value of 18 µg I L -1 [8]. According to a survey conducted in [2005][2006] among 2362 U.S. residents the median iodine level in tap water they consume was found to be about 4.55 µg I L -1 [15].…”

In Israel, desalinated water is a major source of drinking water, blended with water from local wells and Lake Kinneret. Studies have shown that iodine concentrations in the water provided by authorities may not accurately reflect levels reaching end-users. We analyzed the iodine content in 21 tap water and several natural water samples collected from different localities across Israel during May-June 2021, using an improved method of ICP-MS. Our results showed that it is possible to distinguish between sample groups based on iodine concentration, water hardness, and Ca/Mg ratio. The median values for four groups of tap waters ranged from 0.3 to 12.3 g I L-1, which is lower than the iodine concentration in Israeli tap water reported previously by other researchers. Calculations based on typical consumption suggest that the water can provide no more than 3.39% of the recommended dietary allowance level. Additionally, we also analyzed 13 samples of post-treated desalinated water from three of the largest Israeli desalination plants. The results indicate that these waters comply with industrial specifications but contain only trace concentrations of iodine and much less magnesium than recommended by different public health authorities for public consumption of drinking water.

“…The concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) obtained in the fresh water produced, called permeate, depends on the corresponding end use. For domestic, agricultural, or industrial use, freshwater must contain less than 500 mg/L TDS (Rosborg and Kozisek, 2019). For other industrial applications such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and sanitation, the purity of the water must be even higher, i.e., less than 20 mg/L TDS (Patnaik, 2003;Ohannesian and Streeter, 2001).…”

We present a molecular simulation approach to studying the role of local and momentary molecular environment for potential acid‐base reactions. For this, we combine thermodynamic considerations on the pK of ionic species with rapid sampling of energy changes related to (de)protonation. Using dispersed carbonate ions in water as a reference, our approach aims at the fast assessment of the momentary protonation energy, and thus the ‘instantaneous pK’, of calcium‐carbonate ion aggregates. The latter include transient complexes that are elusive to long sampling runs. This motivated the elaboration of approximate, yet particularly fast assessable sampling strategies. Along this line, we were able to characterize instantaneous pK values at a statistical accuracy of 0.4 pK units within sampling runs of only 10 ps duration, whereas statistical errors reduce to 0.1 pK units in 75 ps sampling runs, respectively. This readily enabled the required time resolution for the characterization of [Cax(CO3)y]2(x–y) aggregates with x=1,2 and y=1,2,3, respectively. In turn, the analysis of the pH‐dependent nature of calcite‐water interfaces and dynamically ordered liquid‐like oxyanion polymers (dollop) domains is outlined at 10 ps resolution.
