title: [Chemical composition of one source of sodium chloride mineral water from Neamţ county].
abstract: This paper describes the analytical study of a sodium chloride mineral water from Bălţăteşti Spa--Neamţ county. From the obtained analytical data it was observed that the dominant ions are those of Cl- (48.11 mEq%) and Na+ (43.07 mEq%), respectively. Also, the water contains a significant proportion of Mg2+ ions (6.12 mEq%) compared with the one of Ca2+ ions (0.339 mEq%). It can be remarked that the analysed source consists of a very concentrated, hypertonic water with a high content in chlorine, sodium and magnesium. This kind of mineral water is recommended in external treatments.
