ASSESSMENT OF RIVER WATER QUALITY IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF ROMANIA USING ATOMIC GF5AND OPTICAL METHODS
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2010, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to assess the water quality of some rivers from Brasov, Braila and Galati counties (Timis, Danube and Prut) using atomic and optical methods: Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), UV-VIS Spectrometry and Turbidimetry. The concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in the water samples were determined by AAS technique using the AVANTA GBC spectrometer from Valahia University of Targoviste, with flame and hollow cathode lamps (HCL). The UV-VIS spectrometric and turbidimetric determinations were carried out at Physics Department, “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, using WTW - TURB 430 IRIR/T portable turbidimeter and Perkin Elmer Lambda 35 UV-VIS Spectrometer. The river water turbidity and absorbencies are correlated with the concentrations of heavy elements detected in the analyzed water samples. This study is part of a partnership project funded by National Plan of Research, Developing and Innovation, of implementation of high precision and sensibility methods for the biomonitoring of the environmental pollution in South, South-East and Central regions of Romania (Project 72-172/2008).
