Comparative Analysis of Drinking Water Quality of Different Origin Based on the Results of Integrated Bioassav

摘要

The quality of water from public drinking water supply system, from artesian wells in Kiev and bottled non -carbonated drinking water produced by various companies was investigated using a set of animal and plant test organisms. The integral index—a total toxicity index which allowed researchers to classify water into different categories from "safe" to "highly hazardous" served as a water quality evaluation criterion.
