Abstract
The data obtained in 2003 and 2004 characterize the quality of water from drinking water sources used by inhabitants of the Ust’-Ordynskii Buryat Autonomous District (BAD), Irkutsk oblast, and Aginskii BAD. In the 20th century, these regions were affected by the technogenic and radiation pollution (as a result of nuclear weapon tests).
Analysis of water samples has shown for the majority of the examined sources that the permissible concentrations are exceeded in many parameters of the chemical composition. Permanent use of water from these sources can be one of the health hazards for the local population.
