[Preliminary study of the chemical characteristics of water inside and outside the area of Cassino].
Quality and control of waters, particularly phreatic waters, is a strong need of a modern society and in particular of all administrations that is entitled to care for its citizen's health. The current legislation although not very strict, or at least not as strict and careful as it should be and definitely less than that of the World Health Organization (WHO), has recently constrained thresholds for maximum concentrations of chemical species dissolved into waters (anions, cations and heavy metals). Comparisons between data from water analyses collected in Cassino area and these thresholds have shown that these waters resulted of very good quality and they are not related to any source of inorganic pollution. Tap water should be preferred to mineral water usually in stores. Economically they are at least one thousands times cheaper and often can be considered of better quality.
