Abstract

Concentrations of arsenic and other trace elements in 18 different brands of bottled, mineral and spring, water in Croatia were investigated. For comparison, samples of tap water from Rijeka, Lourdes and Zagreb were also analyzed. The high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR ICP-MS) was used for the analysis. Results obtained were compared to Croatian maximum allowable levels for trace elements in drinking, mineral and tap water, as well as WHO and EPA drinking water standards. Concentration levels of all analyzed elements investigated in all examined water samples were below the maximum contaminant level prescribed by Croatian, WHO and EPA regulations.
