Abstract
Drinking water is an important factor in survival. Many trace elements, both metals and non-metals, in drinking water are capable of causing human diseases if their concentrations exceed certain permissible levels. In this work, the direct determination of some trace heavy metals in the drinking water were carried out by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The stripping current arising from the oxidation of metals were connected with the concentration the metals in the sample. The concentration of some trace heavy metals found in the drinking water sample were determined using acetate buffer (pH: 4.2). This value of elements in this study is between the limit values suggested by WHO, EPA and SASO. [Asia Alshikh. Heavy Metal Concentrations of Drinking Water in South of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
