Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the consumption validity of drinking water of Al– Tahreer liquefier station in Baquba / Diyala, by determining concentrations of inorganic elements and some of the toxic heavy elements in drinking water resulting from the station, during the specified period (from November 2010 until June 2011), all the required chemical and physical tests included temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, the amount of dissolved salts, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulfate, sodium, potassium, aluminum, cadmium, copper, iron, nickel, nitrates and lead. Final results of this study confirmed that most of the determinants were within international standards of World Health Organization, except the presence of significantly increasing in concentrations of some heavy metals including nickel and cadmium during the examination period, with monthly average readings of (0.016 ppm), for cadmium and (0.096 ppm) for nickel respectively, with an increase more than the percentage (100%), from the environmental standards. The researcher attributes that to the waste and the abuses that have been registered of the company which is building a new hospital within the examination period, in addition to a non studied using of fertilizers to raise the agriculture production with the frequent overcome of some people to the river. Some solutions and recommendations have been developed. As well as, it has been illustrated that the station has acceptable efficiency of removing raw water turbidity, with the absence of efficiency relative to the rest of chemical determinants.
