摘要
A simple method for the spectrochemical analysis of water samples by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry is described. Samples from drinking water coolers in 32 schools in Riyadh were collected at a specific time during a typical school day and analyzed for aluminum (Al), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Go), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), silicon (Si), strontium (Sr), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn) to ascertain the water quality. The analysis of drinking water showed high concentrations of metals and in some cases exceeded the guideline limits recommended by EEC and WHO.
