Water Quality Monitoring Results

In total 2004 water samples from 23 regions of Ukraine were analyzed for the following water quality indicators:

2004 water samples

for 13 physic-chemical and organoleptic indicators (Laboratory of ion exchange and adsorption, KPI)

619 water samples 

for petroleum products (Laboratory of ion exchange and adsorption, KPI)

167 water samples 

for heavy metals: Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium (Laboratory of the State Institution «Kundiiev Institute of Occupational Health of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine»)

Water quality monitoring was conducted according to the national normative document DSanPiN 2.2.4-171-10
