Abstract

Trace element analysis of the drinking water in the area of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada has been investigated by an Agilent 7700X inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results indicate that the levels of all measured elements are well below the guidelines of drinking water recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
