  • Title: [Relationship of the quality of drinking water to its use regimens and the types of water supply pipes].
    Author: Mysiakin AE, Korolik VV.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2010; (6):31-3. PubMed ID: 21384579.
    Abstract:
    Drinking water running along the pipes made from different materials was investigated. Two experiments could determine the material that assured at least of all the quality of drinking water in accordance with SanPin 2.1.4.1074-01. The mechanism for worsening the quality of water supplied to a user was revealed in relation to the water use regimen. Short-term flow stoppage of water was found to result in its lower oxygen levels, a larger number of different groups of iron- and manganese-reducing bacteria and an enhanced bacterial reduction of oxides. The latter was accompanied by the dissolution of heavy metals, which induced secondary water contamination.
