The aim of our study was to analyze the elemental concentrations
in drinking water samples and assess a potential risk for
the population. Therefore, we determined the natural elemental
concentrations in drinking water samples covering Kosovo’s territory
with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS).
In this paper we discuss only natural uranium concentrations
while results of other elements were published elsewhere (Berisha
and Goessler, 2013). Additionally, future work on the isotopic distribution
of uranium and its anthropogenic nature in drinking
water and/or groundwater will be conducted.
