Abstract

The present study is based on physicochemical quality examining of bottled natural spring waters being sold between February 2018 and January 2019 in central of Sivas. Physicochemical parameters contents in bottled natural spring water samples were pH 6.38 to 8.20, electrical conductivity 15.64 to 371.00 µS/cm, aluminum 0.21 to 66.60 µg/L, ammonium 0.01 to 0.15 mg/L, chloride 0.27 to 16.50 mg/L, iron 0.35 to 55.10 µg/L, manganese 0.03 to 3.00 µg/L, oxidisability 0.20 to 2.32 mg/L, sodium 0.66 to 67.30 mg/L and sulfate 0.80 to 22.60 mg/L. The findings were checked and debated on the international limit values for drinking water quality. Bottled natural spring water samples in Sivas were within the acceptable standards for human consumption.
