Abstract
Bottled water is a product that is purchased by annually increasing numbers of people of all age groups. The quality control of mineral waters tends to concentrate on the determination of anion and cation levels, since it is these that govern the taste, smell and possible medicinal properties of the water. The constantly rising sales of mineral waters bring with them the ever increasing exploitation of their sources. The consequences of this include the deterioration in quality of subterranean waters, for example, as a result of the inflow of adjacent ground waters, which are more exposed to anthropogenic contamination. The implication is that not only the mineral content but also the levels of possible organic contaminants must be subjected to constant quality control measures. If bottled water is not stored under the right conditions, that is to say, if it is exposed to high temperatures and/or sunlight, it can become contaminated by the degradation products of the material from which the bottle was made
