Abstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of twelve commercial brands of still bottled water from Romania. To this end, we compared the placement of chemical parameters below the maximum permissible limit of each compound. It was also verified whether the information is inscribed on the label according to the legislation in force. To evaluate population awareness of the importance of drinking water’s quality, a questionnaire was created to which 117 people from several different counties of Romania answered. So it was found that the most popular aspect on wich the respondents based on their preferences in purchasing the water they drink, is represented by the organoleptic properties, most of them (33.33%), preferring the brand Aqua carpatica. The study found that all the analysed still water assortments fall within the accepted standards for the chemical parameters of drinking water.
