Vanadium in Drinking Water Supply of Volcano Mt. Etna (Sicily - Italy)

The Italian Legislative Decree no. 31 of 2001, which implements the Directive 98/83/EC, defines standard for the “quality of water intended for human consumption”. It is applicable to all water intended for drinking, food preparation and beverages, both in domestic and in food industry. The parameters and maximum values are typically based on guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and on the opinion of the scientific committee of the European Commission. In Italy, more restrictive values and additional parameters are set by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) (Italian Health Ministry’s research body).
