    Assessment of the NPI index, in Algerian bottled water
    (Université Badji Mokhtar Annaba, 2025-06-24) BOUGHERIRA, Nabil; NECHEM, D.; BOUGUERRA, H.; HANI, A.; DJABRI, L.; CHAFFAI, H.; OULED MERIEM, S.
    The aim of this work is to examine a considerable number of bottled water samples (41 brand) to cover the entire range of physic chemical concentrations, given the high demand for bottled water for consumption; the high concentrations could seriously jeopardize the safety of human health due to the nitrates collected during the labelling of bottled waters. Once we examined their physic chemical characteristics, we compared them to Algerian standards for mineral and spring waters, as well as international standards. (O.M.S). subsequently, we analyzed and classified these waters using both hydrochemical methods such as the Piper, Sholler Berkaloff and Gibbs diagrams. Based on their nitrate content, bottled water was, classified according to the nitrate pollution index method. This method plays an essential role in the detection of pollution, which allows us to choose our water properly.
