Abstract

• Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Method for elemental concentration quantitatively and toxic and heavy elemental concentration were investigation by using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The natural water samples were collected from artesian well in the eastern district of Yangon Region. The elemental concentrations were compared with the permissible standard levels and pH values were determined by using digital pH meter. The elemental contents were observed in the range as follows: Mn (0-0.394) ppm, Fe (0.028-0.236) ppm, Cu (0.031-0.076) ppm, Zn (0.025-0.505 ) ppm, As (0-0.002) ppm, Pb (0.047-0.080) ppm. Then, the comparison with World Health Organization guideline values were used. The concentration of the observed elements except Lead (Pb) were found to be within the acceptable levels. According to the pH value results, the artesian water from Thingangyun Township and Tamwe Township can be used as drinking water.
