Abstract
Thermal waters
contain thermal, mineral and thermo - mineral waters which are used in
treatment in the health resorts. Most of these waters are used for bathing
cures, drinking cures and inhalation cures beside being an important resource
in terms of the health tourism. Turkey
has a number of rich thermal waters since its geological structure. A great
number of different elements of thermal waters are very useful for treatment
purposes of various diseases. However, some thermal waters are not suitable for
drinking cures because of their heavy metal contents.
In this study,
arsenic rate of thermal waters that are collected throughout Nevsehir in Turkey
was analyzed by ICP- MS and the results were evaluated. It was detected
that following results; 205.7 µg / L
arsenic in Kozakli (thermal water), 20,78 µg/ L arsenic in Bayramhacılı
(thermal water), 268,6 µg/ L
arsenic and 267,7 µg/ L arsenic Kozaklı (drilling water), 2052 µg/ L arsenic in
Haciveli Özbölükler (thermal water). When the values of acceptable limit
consider which is 10 µg /L according to the regulation of the Health Ministry
of Turkey (Water Intended for Human Consumption) it is revealed that all
thermal and drilling waters that we collected contain high amount of Arsenic
than the limit value.
Conclusion, these
waters can be harmful for public health, for this reason it is required people
who live around Nevsehir should be done health control frequently as well as
creating a hydrogeochemical map for long-term studies. This is very important
to operate the arsenic treatment plant effectively and use it sustainably.
