Abstract

The hygienic aspect of drinking water safety and quality can be defined by the indices of epidemic safety, sanitary, chemical and radiation indices, as well as by the optimal content of mineral substances, i.e. a mineral composition being adequate to the physiological need of a human organism: total hardness, total alkalinity, the content of iodine, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, solid residual and fluorine. The article assesses the possible impact of the mineral composition of drinking water on the health of urban agglomerations of Northwest Black Sea Region. The indicators of balanced mineral composition of drinking water, obtained after treatment of river water, mainly meet the normative requirements, but the sodium content is higher and the fluorine content is substantially lower than the optimal value. The values of almost all indices define that the balanced mineral composition deviates from optimal value range in the ground water. The concentrations of calcium, magnesium and sodium ions in the ground water decrease after purification in a pump-room, which further leads to the development of diseases due to deficiency of the essential cations. There is fluorine deficiency in drinking water, both from surface and ground sources of water supply. Long-term consumption of drinking water with an imbalance of essential mineral components can be one of the negative impacts on public health.
