Abstract
Concentrations of Ag, Al, Ba, Br, Cl, Cu, I, In, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Sb, Sn, Sr, U, V and Zn were determined in 34 samples of mineral waters from Canada and from 9 other countries. The concentrations of elements which were frequently determined ranged (in ppb): Ag 0.1–6, Al 3–173, Cu 2–137, La 0.04–10, Mg 9–1140, Mn 0.1–99, Sb 1–50, V 0.01–2.6 and Zn 3–613.
