Sodium Levels in the Spring Water, Surface and Groundwater in Dalmatia ( Southern Croatia)

During the year 2010, sodium concentrations were monitored in spring water, surface and groundwater i Dalmatia, in order to study their influence upon human health, i. e.arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.According to the research results obtained on 60 water samples, 64% can be classified as hypotensive, 20% as normotensive and 16% as hypertensive.Sodium concentrations and/or water corrosiveness determined by chloride should be used to study the health of each groups drinking water with different sodium (and/or chlorides) concentrations. It can also be used to epidemiologically correlate the pathological states such as arterial hypotension or hypertension with sodium intake from water ; it should be also relevant to correlate other pathological states, such as stomach erosion due to water corrosivenes caused by chlorides.
