There are some limitations about quantity of heavy metals in food and drugs especially inmineral water. High concentrations
of heavy metals in food, drugs andmineral water can cause peripheral neuropathy, decrease in learning ability andmemory,
nephritis, anemia and growth deficiency during a long time. So everybody who drinks mineral water with lead content more
than maximum contaminant level is high risk of lead cumulation and chronic toxicity by it. As there is not process control
during mineral water production, we decided to assay lead quantity in products of 14 mineral water companies of IRAN, by
atomic absorption spectroscopy. The maximum average of lead content (0.0935±0.0018 ppm) was found in crystal mineral
water and the minimum average of lead content (0.0222±0.00099 ppm) in Sepidan mineral water. Results showed that the
mean lead content, in 14 types of mineral water were higher than approvable concentrations(≤0.0015 ppm) so none of these
samples had a satisfactory lead concentration.
