Abstract
Water usually has some dissolved elements such as solids and gasses. Existences of some elements
in water are necessary for human health, but deficiency of many them can cause problems. At this research
chemical and physical parameters of produced water in Ilam Water Treatment has determined and compared
with Iran and world health organization (WHO) standards. In this study, samples were analyzed twice per month
during 12 months 2008. Altogether in this survey, 16 physical and chemical parameters were measured in
produced water of Ilam Water treatment plant. During this study, 24 samples were taken and analyzed according
to the latest addition of standard method manual. Data were analyzed using the SPSS and Microsoft Excel
software packages. Then the results compared to drinking water standards. The physical and chemical
parameters of produced water of Ilam Water Treatment Plant are in range of WHO and Iran drinking Water
standards and only fluoride value is lower than Iran standard limits. The chemical and physical quality of
produced water does not have any health hazard problem. Fluoride is just lower than the standard range and
many people use some methods to overcome this problem
