Determination of ammonium ion in various water sources – impact on drinking water quality

In this study we aimed to determine the presence of ammonium ion in water taken from four to five different sources. This analysis is essential because the presence of ammonium can indicate pollution from agricultural or industrial sources and can affect the potability of the water. We used the Nessler Reagent to identify the presence of ammonium ion and compared the results with the standard values provided by Apavital. The purpose of the research is to highlight the potential risks associated with the consumption of contaminated water.
