Abstract:
The results of analysis showed that the pH were <6.5 or >8.5 in 45% of drinking water samples. The rate of drinking water samples that NO2 concentrations exceeded the set standards were between 10.9% and 30% in 3 districts (An Bien, Hon Dat, and Tan Hiep). The concentrations of organic substances and NH4 also exceeded 0-15% of standards, and many samples were substandard about microorganism such as E.coli, faecal coliform (15%) with p<0.05. It’s necessary to survey and study especially the local fact in building bore-well.
