title: On the presence and identification of organic substances in drinking water and mineral waters.
abstract: The identification of organic substances present in mineral water has engaged the interest of hydrologists since the last century. Nowadays these organic substances, even if present in very small quantities, can usually be identified thanks to the remarkable progress made in various techniques of isolation, resolution, identification and dosage. The authors report the results achieved using a methodology of concentration by means of active coals and identification with thin-layer chromatography.
