Abstract: (81 Views)
Introduction: Access to safe and hygienic drinking water is indeed one of the most important and vital issues in many countries around the world. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Health of Iran, safe drinking water must be clear and its various physical and chemical parameters must be within the approved standard and its consumption should not cause any complications in humans. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the concentration of sulfate, phosphate, iron, electrical conductivity (EC), and total dissolved solids (TDS) parameters in the drinking water sources of Ilam city from 2019 to 2023.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted with the aim of determining the concentration of sulfate, phosphate, iron, TDS and EC parameters in drinking water sources of Ilam city from 2019 to 2023. The studied community of drinking water supply sources in Ilam city includes the treatment plant and underground sources, as well as the water obtained from these sources. The samples are collected from the drinking water supply sources, specifically wells and springs, of Ilam city. All tests are conducted in the laboratories of Ilam City Health Center and the Water and Wastewater Company, following the standard methods for water and wastewater testing. The results are then compared with the latest national water standards of Iran. Finally, the data are analyzed using SPSS software and employing statistical tests.
Results: The findings indicate that the levels of sulfate, iron, TDS, and EC parameters in the groundwater and surface water sources of Ilam city are within the standard range. The average values of sulfate, iron, TDS, and EC parameters are 210, 0.155, 829, and 1290.4, respectively. However, the phosphate parameter in the drinking water of the Haft-Cheshmeh rural well under the coverage of the county is above the maximum desirable standard, while in other sources, the levels of this parameter are within the desirable range. The average of this parameter in all drinking water sources of Ilam city is within the standard range, amounting to 0.177.
Conclusion: Considering that the levels of most physical and chemical parameters in Ilam city are below the global standard limits, it can be said that the physicochemical quality of drinking water in Ilam city is not health-threatening and is safe.
