Abstract. The study concerned with the assessment of quality
characteristics of drinking water offered to primary school students in
Jeddah city as regards the chemical aspect. Primary schools include
students highly susceptible to environmental pollution due to their low
awareness concerning the surrounding environmental risks.
The researchers developed a questionnaire distributed to all
primary schools. In the light of the questionnaire, as well levels of
underground water, the researchers selected 30 primary schools for
chemical examinations of drinking water.
The selected schools were distributed between the north and
south of Jeddah equally. Drinking water samples were taken at three
times after stagnating in tanks as follows; in summer, after weekend,
and after the end of Ramadan Holiday. The levels of the total
dissolved metals (aluminum, iron, manganese, copper, nickel and
zinc) were measured. All of them were in the permissible levels
locally and internationally except for nickel. This might be due to the
water distribution net and/ or the increasing level of underground
water. |
