The results showed that samples to be analyzed as nitrate the range of 1 to 29/7 and nitrite concentrations in range of 0/003 to 0/05 mg were reported. Brands S5 and S4 have the highest and lowest levels of nitrate and samples S5 and S15 was the highest and the lowest nitrite. Also significant differences was observed between test results with sample labels (p All brands were marked with the national standard and Due to lack of compatibility with labels of samples analyzed parameters is required Endorsing organizations, constant monitoring of the production process and product quality monitoring and factory manufacturers Required to comply with all standards, labeling and registration are complete and consistent with real water samples
