The ever-increasing popularity of bottled water means that it is important to analyze not only its mineral content but also, above all,its content of possible contaminants, especially the organic ones. In this respect, bottled waters are a special case, because apartfrom organic chemical contaminants derived from the well from which they were acquired, their secondary contamination is alwayspossible, during treatment or storage or transport in unsuitable conditions (sunlight and elevated temperature). This paperdescribes how various factors, from the area around the well, and the method of drawing and treating water, to the manner inwhich the finished product is stored and transported may affect the quality of bottled waters. It also summarizes literatureinformation on the levels of organic contaminants in various kinds of bottled water samples.
