METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE SAFETY OF BOTTLED WATER IN A CITY USING THE DYNAMICS OF BIOMETRIC INDICATORS OF A BATTERY OF PHYTO TESTS

Abstract

The problem of determination of quality of bottled water means of biotesting is a
subject of close attention of scientists. There is a classification of the leading 17
grades of the packed-up water of Ukraine. It is developed by way of biotesting. This
classification covers safe, conditionally safe, dangerous, very dangerous classes of
grades of bottled water. The question of its safety in retail chain stores remains open.
The general scheme of an experiment contained option of quality drinking water as to
a standard and the vegetable model systems of monocotyledonous plants of various
stages of ontogenesis. Sprouts of wheat and barley, vegetative plants of wheat that
couched floating disks, were their part. Bottled water of the Morshinskaya brand (the
safe packed-up water) was bought in supermarkets of different districts of the city of
Kherson and protested. Water from the local well was a standard in a research. Seeds
couched in cups Petri behind conventional to a technique of 2 days in the thermostat
at t=26о C. Vegetative plants of wheat received after a germinations of seeds floating
rings from foam, and a gauze of 15 days at artificial lighting. After a germinations of
seeds defined biometric indicators fitotests. Quantitative data processed statistically.
In the article the presented is developed method of determination of imitations of
the packaged water after the dynamics of biometrical indexes of three vegetable model
systems. His application in relation to water of brand Morshinska, which the point-ofsale network of different boroughs Kherson contains led to all tested variants, is
imitations. They did not answer a class «safe butyrate water». It is shown that existent
classification of brands of butyrate waters of Ukraine needs correction. It does not
contain the standard of high-quality drinking- water and does not take into account
the presence of their imitations in a point-of-sale network. The results of the conducted
research showed possibility of the use of battery from fittest Monocotyledons the
different stage of ontogenesis for the objective estimation of quality of butyrate water.
Key words: packaged drinking-water, imitations of the packaged water, and
biometrical indexes of fitotests.
