Full assessment of Rostov-on-Don springs
The full assessment of drinking supply sources was carried out within the period of 2009-2011 through using methods of radioactive and chemical analysis. The common ecological condition of 12 studied springs was very poor. The radio-ecological condition was at the level of baseline for Rostov-on-Don and its region, but chemical composition of water samples showed that spring water didn't correspond to sanitary- and-hygiene norms. In case of long-term water drinking, it can cause diseases of the gastro-intestinal tractand muscular-and-skeletal system.
