The Ministry of Science and Technology’s Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) announced its findings after conducting a scientific analysis of samples of bottled water collected from 11 major cities.
The scientific analysis was conducted by ISO-17025 accredited National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) in Islamabad for physicochemicals and microbiological parameters.
PCRWR chairman Dr Muhammad Aslam Tahir pointed out that as many as 33 brands disappeared from the market after they were identified as unsafe earlier.
“It is not clear whether they have come up with a new name and improved quality or not,” he said. “Moreover, 36 new brands have surfaced.”
