Sažetak
When using thermal and mineral waters, it is necessary to pay attention to the safety of their use for medicinal purposes (in spas), in terms of achieving and maintaining water parameters at intervals that will guarantee users all the benefits of using such water, while the possibility of deteriorating health would be reduced to a minimum. Due to the specific and diverse composition of such waters, the relationship between their composition and their impact on human health has not been fully clarified. It is necessary to develop a new strategy and introduce analyses and monitoring of new parameters of thermal and mineral waters in order to achieve a better interpretation of their effects on the body, but also to monitor the condition of users of health services. One of the main problems is to achieve and maintain the microbiological safety of water because the usual disinfection procedures significantly change the originality of the composition of these waters and, presumably, reduce their healing effect. The paper also provides an overview of the conditions for the application of innovative solutions and technologies for water treatment (primarily disinfection processes) that could be suitable for preserving the originality of these types of water to the greatest extent possible.
