Journal Title: Central Asian Journal of Environmental Science and Technology Innovation - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Access to safe drinking water for the population is of the most vital and important issues in Azerbaijan. Simultaneously, providing the population with clean drinking water is of great important direction for the social and economic development of the Republic. The present study represents the results of similar previous studies on the quality of drinking water in the Binagadi district. According to previous literature, the principal elements of pollution in drinking water are Arsenic, zinc, and copper compounds. The concentration of As, Zn, and Cu has been estimated in the Abseron Peninsula with drinking water. Water supplies were collected in 1 liter of polyethylene bottles, which were washed with deionized water before use. The concentrations of As, Zn, and Cu in the water samples showed that As 3.5-3.7 μg/ l; Cu: 3.6-6.7 μg/l; and Zn 2-9 μg/l, respectively. Also, the concentration showed below but Zn and Cu were higher than the WHO standards permitted limits.
