Análisis físico químico de agua potable

Abstract

Water quality is an essential ecological value for health and for economic growth, but this in turn is affected by natural impacts and the different anthropogenic activities that cause an alteration in the physical, chemical and microbiology composition of the water of consumption causing effects on health such as infectious diseases due to the different components of pollutants contained in it such as: radioactive inorganic substances, organic substances, pesticides, disinfectant residues, disinfection by-products, cyanotoxins and pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi etc) For this, the water that will be destined for human consumption must apply a treatment process that makes it possible to purify and guarantee the quality of the water and health for the human being. This study aims to describe the different physical-chemical parameters of drinking water through a physical-chemical analysis using standardized methods for drinking and waste water given by the Standard Methods for the examination of water and wastewater. Therefore, public water purification companies must abide by the parameters established by the INEN 1108-2014 Regulation (fifth edition), where water must comply with permissible values that allow its use and do not cause a negative effect on the society.
