ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) ne apni taza seh mahi report mein bataya hai ke July se September ke dauran Pakistan mein farokht hone wale bottle band peene ke pani ke 27 brands hukumati hifazati test mein nakam rahe.
Council ne Karachi aur Quetta se le kar Gilgit aur Muzaffarabad tak 20 sheharon ki dukanon aur factoriyon se 223 brands khareed kar Pakistan ke bottle band pani ke meyarat par un ki jaanch ki. 22 brands mein coliform bacteria paye gaye jo aaloodgi ki alamat hain, jabke chhe brands mein sodium, arsenic, potassium ya hal shuda thos ajza muqarrara had se zyada thay. Aik brand donon lihaz se nakam raha. Kisi namoone mein E. coli nahin paya gaya.
Ghair mehfooz qarar diye gaye 27 brands: Aab-e-Haram, Imperial Pure Drinking Water, Douro, Aab-e-Makuran, Water Verse Purified, Jel Bottled Drinking Water, A B-Blue Water, Sip Bottled Drinking Water, HR Water Healthy Life, Safi Bottled Drinking Water, Pure Aqua Tech Bottled Drinking Water, Akwafine Bottled Drinking Water, Water Time Bottled Drinking Water, Al Saha Drinking Water, Aab-e-Hayat, K&S Aqua Sea, JERS Safe Life, Athar Premium, Aqua Dor, HHG Sweets and Bakers, Drinkly, One Flow Bottled Drinking Water, Premium Safa Purified Water, Zalmi Pure Mineral Water, New A2Z Bottled Water, Fresh Smart Pure Water aur Aqua Indus.
Nakam hone wale brands mein se das Sialkot aur us ke gird-o-nawah se khareede gaye thay. Akwafine, jis par Gujranwala ki MKS Beverages ki product darj hai, mein arsenic ki miqdar 23.2 parts fi billion thi jo 10 ki mehfooz had se dugni se bhi zyada hai, jabke Multan ke Premium Safa Purified Water mein yeh miqdar 13.5 thi.
Naam ghaur se dekhein: nakam hone wale kuch brands ke naam mashhoor brands se milte julte hain. Akwafine aur Aquafina aik nahin; Aquafina test mein kamyab raha. Sip Bottled Drinking Water nakam raha jabke Sip Nest aur Pure Sip kamyab rahe. Is baar ke test mein Nestlé Pure Life, Aquafina, Dasani, Murree Sparkletts aur Culligan sab kamyab rahe.
Yeh kyun aham hai: council ke mutabiq jaraseemi aaloodgi se ishaal, pechish, haiza aur typhoid ho sakta hai, sodium ki ziyadti ka taluq high blood pressure se hai, aur arsenic ka jild ki bimariyon aur jild ke cancer se. Agar aap ke paas fehrist mein shamil koi brand hai to use peena band kar dein. Ubalne se jaraseem to mar jate hain lekin arsenic ya namkiyat khatam nahin hote.
Council 2005 se har seh mahi bottle band pani ki jaanch kar rahi hai, jab wafaqi cabinet ne baqaida namoone lene, nataij shaya karne aur khilaf warzi karne walon ke khilaf qanooni karrawai ka hukm diya tha. Market tezi se badalti hai: is baar milne wale brands mein se 97 naye thay, jabke pichhli seh mahi mein farokht hone wale 103 brands ab nahin mil sake. Har brand ke nataij par mushtamil mukammal report council ki website par maujood hai.
