Sažetak
Concentrations of arsenic and other trace elements in 18 different brands of bottled, mineral
and spring, water in Croatia were investigated. For comparison, samples of tap water from Rijeka,
Lourdes and Zagreb were also analyzed. The high resolution inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (HR ICP-MS) was used for the analysis. Results obtained were compared to
Croatian maximum allowable levels for trace elements in drinking, mineral and tap water, as
well as WHO and EPA drinking water standards. Concentration levels of all analyzed elements
investigated in all examined water samples were below the maximum contaminant level prescribed
by Croatian, WHO and EPA regulations.
