Тhe mammal-marrow (laboratory strains of mice - C57BL/6) and Dr. Melanogaster (mutagen sensitive Muller 5 race) tests assessment in order to evaluate genotoxic effect of the samples of natural source of drinking water (Om river) showed that the water from Om river (before and after water treatment in comparison with the control variant) is able to provoke the statistically significant toxic effect, chromosome aberrations and gene mutations in animal cells. The reason may be a high level of water pollution with iron salts and humic compounds as well as dramatically increasing and exceeding the maximum permissible concentration level of the aluminum compounds after water treatment.29 30
