Quality of refill drinking water in Greater Jakarta in 2010

---

Background: Drinking water is increasingly scarce in urban areas. Water consumed by the public must meet the requirements of safe drinking water quality for health. Many people use refill drinking water to meet the needs of drinking water daily. This study presents the quality of refill drinking water assessment based on the examination of physical and chemical parameters in 2010.

Methods: The study design is cross-sectional. Samples were obtained from the public who requested the examination of drinking water quality in the Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Technology at the Center for Basic Biomedical and Health, Ministry of Health from January to December 2010. Each sample was assessed for physical and chemical content based on Miniter of Health decree Number 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010. Physical examination includes TDS (the amount of dissolved solids), turbidity, temperature, and color. Chemical examination includes nitrites, iron, hardness, chloride, manganese, pH, sulfate, and organic compound KMnO4. The sample is said not to meet the standard quality if one or more parameters have a value beyond the maximum limit.

Results: Among 121 samples, about 23.1% (28) samples did not meet the requirement set by the Miniter of Health decree. All samples which did not qualify because the pH value was beyond the permitted limits and one sample because the content of manganese was above 0.4 mg / l.

Conclusions: Most refill drinking water in Greater Jakarta meets the quality requirement. Samples that did not meet the requirement because of high levels of manganese. too low or too high pH. (Health Science Indones 2011;2:77-80).
