Abstract

The concentrations of chromium, nickel, copper, manganese, zinc, iron, cobalt and aluminum ions in drinking waters from eight sites of Tokat, Turkey, were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The values found the present work for the heavy metal contents of the drinking water samples of Tokat, Turkey were below the maximum tolerable limits set by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Water Pollution Control Regulation of the Turkish authorities.
