Drinking water quality standards describes quality parameters set for drinking water. Despite the truism that every human on this planet needs drinking water to survive & that water may contain many harmful constituents, there are no universally recognized & accepted international standards for drinking water.

World Health Organization publishes guidelines on the standards that should be achieved.

World Health Organisation guidelines
World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines include the following recommended limits on naturally occurring constituents that may have direct adverse health impact:
Arsenic 10μg/l

Uranium 30μg/l
Barium 10μg/l
Boron 2400μg/l

For potential occurrence in drinking water of artificial or synthetic pollutants generated by human activities, the following standards have been proposed:
Cadmium 3μg/l
Mercury 6μg/l For inorganic mercury
