Abstract :Heavy metal pollution has been a major problem in drinking water all over the world. Increase in water pollution due to population growth, also inadequate municipality services, people have preferred consuming bottled water more. Hence, it is crucial to determine mineral composition of the bottled drinking water. In this study, Antimony (Sb), Arsenic (As), Beryllium (Be), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Lithium (Li), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Strontium (Sr) and Vanadium (V) were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) in bottled drinking water samples sold in supermarkets. Linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), reproducibility and recovery (%) values were determined. Method validation data results showed that the method is applicable for elemental analysis in bottled drinking water samples. As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn were not detected in the samples (
