Measurements of Heavy Metals in Tap Water

Year 2019, Volume: 14 Issue: 4, 172 - 176, 30.12.2019

Abstract

Metal are present in
environment parts in low concentration. The presences of heavy metals pollution
in water has negative impacts not only aquatic ecosystems but also represent
serious problems for human health. Metal contamination in water is a major
component in the determination of water quality. The object is this study was
the analysis and identification of heavy metals in tap water at the Tirana city.
During this survey we were collected samples at different points of the water
supply, from sources of water, storage of water and in the consumer from
different locations in Tirana city. The analyses of heavy metals in
representatives sampling of water were performed at the Institute of Applied
Nuclear Physics, University of Tirana. Water samples were analyzed using
graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry to determine the concentration of
total metal. The current study reports the presence of few heavy metals in the
analyzed tap water samples, although it should be mentioned that their
concentrations are quite low. From results obtained can be observed that the
measured concentrations are lower than the Maximum Contaminant Levels specified
by the Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization.
