title: [Potability of drinking water sold in bags to public primary school children in Abidjan].
abstract: This study was carried out in order to determine the potability of drinking water sold in bags near 26 primary schools in Abidjan. Samples of this water revealed its poor microbiological and chemical quality. This exposes consumers to health risks. Consumers should be informed of the danger involved while vendors should be educated and their activities monitored by the Municipal Health services.
