Abstract
Heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pbl Cd, Fe, Mn) have been studied in spring wate rs in order to assess any toxicological problem. The analysis were rea lized by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The results showed that the w ater was not dangerous for human health, so the metals considerated as toxics (Cd, Pb) did not present problems of contamination. The other metals had values below the maximum admisible concentration, except Mn , which presented concentrations above the maximum admisible concentra tion in six spring waters.
