Abstract

Commercialized bottled mineral water plays a significant role in modern civilization, showing diverse geochemical properties influenced by various geological settings and hydrological processes. This study aim to assess water quality index score (WQIS), determining potential human health risks (HHR), and analyzing other relevant geochemical properties of commercial mineral and spring sources. To achieve this objective, a decision support system software was developed. The software processes geochemical data collected, calculates indices (WQIS, HHR, IEB, SAR, TH, RSC, PI, KR, MH, SSP, and NPI), and enables users to discern the geological structure of each water type based on its geochemical characteristics and ratios (rSO/Cl, rNaCl, and rMgCl). The dataset comprises 33 samples of commercial water. Results indicate that WQIS ranges from 17 to 76, corresponding to water qualities ranging from excellent to good, respectively. HHR values vary between 0.01 and 1.34 it express a significant variability and potential hazards associated with the presence of nitrates in such water types. The developed software serves as a decision support tool for authorities to monitor commercial and other drinking water to save public health.

水质 1.0：阿尔及利亚商业化矿泉水的 HHR、WQI 和地球化学评估软件

商业化瓶装矿泉水在现代文明中发挥着重要作用，受各种地质环境和水文过程的影响，其地球化学性质多种多样。本研究旨在评估水质指数得分（WQIS），确定潜在的人类健康风险（HHR），并分析商业矿泉水和泉水的其他相关地球化学特性。为实现这一目标，开发了一个决策支持系统软件。该软件处理收集到的地球化学数据，计算指数（WQIS、HHR、IEB、SAR、TH、RSC、PI、KR、MH、SSP 和 NPI），并使用户能够根据地球化学特征和比率（rSO/Cl、rNaCl 和 rMgCl）判别每种水的地质结构。数据集包括 33 个商用水样本。结果表明，WQIS 范围在 17 到 76 之间，分别对应水质从优到良。HHR 值介于 0.01 和 1.34 之间，表明此类水质中硝酸盐的存在具有显著的可变性和潜在危害。所开发的软件可作为决策支持工具，供有关部门监测商业和其他饮用水，以保护公众健康。
