| This study was conducted to determine total hardness ,total dissolved salts, chloride, microbial tests and many elements concentrations were determined (lead, copper, iron, zinc, cadmium, chromium magnesium, calcium, and sodium) in ten samples of drinking tap water from different regions of Baghdad city .the study′s regions are (talbia, Cairo Q., aladamia, alzafarania, alsadar city, aldora, alhureaa, alqadesia, alturath Q.and aljamiaa Q.) during September 2009,and comparison the results with the requirements of the Iraqi standard specification 417 for drinking water, the results showed a rising in the rate of total dissolved solids more than the acceptable limits of Iraqi specification ,it was in the range (3320-5590) ppm ,the rates of total hardness, and chloride were in the range (244.2-294.9) ppm and (532-975) ppm respectively .there wasn't any concentration of lead, Chromium and Copper in each of test′s samples except one sample of aladamia region was reach to (0.0032) ppm. Cadmium concentration was in the range (0.0004-0.001) ppm and Zinc concentration was in the range (0-0.66) ppm. and Iron concentration was in the range (0.033-0.53) ppm. Magnesium concentration that determinate by titration method was in the range(20.9-30.6) ppm that was disparate with the values of Magnesium concentrations that determinate by using atomic absorption apparatus in the range (23.33-36.66) ppm. Calcium concentration determinate by titration method was approach to the Calcium concentration that determinate by flame photometer and it was in the range (56.5-81.8) ppm. Sodium concentration was in the range (53.8-85) ppm .active material and microbial contamination with coliforms ,E-coli ,fecal coliforms , and Salomnella wasn’t found in all samples of this study. |
