Heavy Metals and Physico-Chemical Parameters Analysis from the Wells in the Buhoci Area, Bacau
Keywords:
heavy metals, physical-chemical analyzes, drinking water
Abstract
The study purpose is to analyze the heavy metals concentrations in the water from the Buhoci area wells and to evaluate the physico-chemical parameters of this water. Measurement of physico-chemical parameters were performed on site in five locality points using portable equipment. Heavy metals from these samples were analyzed in the laboratory of Hydrogeology, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. The analyzed water sources are used for domestic consumption. The results of the physico-chemical parameters comparative analysis fall within the limits admitted according to the requirements of Romanian Law no. 458 of July 8, 2002 with values in the range of: pH ≥ 6.5 - ≤ 9.5; turbidity (oC) ≤ 5; conductivity (μS/cm) ≤ 2,500.
