Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to describe a special monitoring of the characteristics of undesirable physical and chemical pollutants in the water that can adversely affect human health. Generally the causes of water contamination are human-made through industrial processes or because of natural causes. Among human made or industrial causes is the pollution from mineral and metal extraction plants, discharge of waste near water resources, use of fertilizers, pesticides, car washing etc. Among natural causes of water pollution are volcanoes, cyclones, natural disasters and emergencies. Floods increase the risk of water contamination in the water treatment installations and water supply networks and through sewage discharge.As a result monitoring of water pollutants like chemical elements and physical substances of natural or synthetic origin in order to assure those are below the maximum allowed values (MAV) is a very important process to protect the human health and have clean beverage production.
