Drinking water sulfate

Herbicides. An array of herbicides are registered for use in aquatic sites, but copper sulfate and diquat dibromide are of additional interest because they also have therapeutic properties (9,10). Copper sulfate has been used to control bacteria, fungi, and certain parasites, including Jchthjophthirius (ich). Diquat dibromide can control columnaris disease, but it also exhibits fungicidal properties (9,10). EPA recentiy proposed to limit the amount of diquat dibromide, endothaH, glyphosate, and simazine that can be present in drinking water therefore, the use of these compounds may be reduced if they cannot be removed from the effluent. 

Seawater Distillation. The principal thermal processes used to recover drinking water from seawater include multistage flash distillation, multi-effect distillation, and vapor compression distillation. In these processes, seawater is heated, and the relatively pure distillate is collected. Scale deposits, usually calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium sulfate, lessen efficiency of these units. Dispersants such as poly(maleic acid) (39,40) inhibit scale formation, or at least modify it to form an easily removed powder, thus maintaining cleaner, more efficient heat-transfer surfaces.

Aluminum is a metal which exists abundantly and widely in the earth and is commonly used in food packaging, antiperspirants, antiacid in digestion remedies, cosmetics and in beverages industries [2]. Aluminum sulfate is the most common aluminum-based coagulant used in purify water in many countries and it is found in most drinking water. WHO guidelines set its permissible level in drinking water at 200 ppb [3]. Upper levels can lead to serious problems such as Alzeheimer s disease. So, optimized preconcentration methods are required for the determination of trace amounts aluminum. 

A few DBFs, such as bromate, chlorate, iodate, and chlorite, are present as anions in drinking water. As a result, they are not volatile and cannot be analyzed by GC/MS. They are also difficult to separate by LC, but will separate nicely using ion chromatography (IC). At neutral pH, HAAs are also anions and can be separated using 1C. A number of methods have been created for these DBFs using both IC/ inductively coupled plasma (ICF)-MS and IC/ESl-MS. Fretreatment to remove interfering ions (e.g., sulfate and chloride), along with the use of a suppressor column prior to introduction into the MS interface, is beneficial for trace-level measurement.

Administered in the drinking water to male rats for 60 days, 0.7 mg thallium/day, as thallium sulfate, caused abnormalities in testicular morphology, function, and biochemistry. Effects included increased epididymal sperm with increased numbers of immature cells, decreased sperm motility, and reduced testicular P-glucuronidase. 

An increase in mortality was not observed in chronic studies in rats or dogs fed nickel sulfate in the diet at doses up to 188 mg/kg/day for rats and 62.5 mg/kg/day for dogs (Ambrose et al. 1976). In mice provided with 0.95 mg/nickel/kg as nickel acetate in drinking water for up to 904 days, an increase in life expectancy was observed (Schroeder and Mitchener 1975). 

Hematological Effects. A transient increase in blood reticulocytes was observed in workers who were hospitalized after drinking water during one work shift from a water fountain contaminated with nickel sulfate, nickel chloride, and boric acid (Sunderman et al. 1988). Thirty-live workers were exposed, 20 reported symptoms, and 10 were hospitalized. The workers who reported symptoms were exposed to an estimated dose of 7.1-35.7 mg nickel/kg. The contribution of boric acid to these effects is not known. 

Following inhalation exposure, about 20-35% of nickel deposited in the lungs of humans is absorbed into the bloodstream. Absorption from the respiratory tract is dependent on the solubility of the nickel compound, with higher urinary nickel observed in workers exposed to soluble nickel compounds (nickel chloride, nicke sulfate) than in those exposed to less-soluble nickel compounds (nickel oxide, nickel subsulfrde). Following oral exposure, about 27% of the nickel given to humans in drinking water was...
