Tap Water (7) (NI-424)

The administrative order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare #261 (July 22, 2003) specifies the acceptable levels for F^–, Cl^–, NO₂^– and NO₃^–. Their concentrations are measured using ion chromatography. Here, anions in tap water were analyzed using IC NI-424 though NO₂^– could not be detected in tap water.
