2020 Yes https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7513401/ Hung, Dang The Asia Exposure Study Modeling Elementary (K-5) Drinking water Tap water Water quality Chemicals Microbes Hanoi Vietnam All of the schools employed community water system as a main source for drinking water. The results showed that all tested samples were found to be within the standards for some physicochemical properties, including Color, Taste and Odor, Hardness, Chloride, Total
Iron (Fe2+ và Fe3+), Total Manganese (Mn), Nitrate (NO3
–), Sulfate (SO4
2–), and Total Arsenic (As). On the other hand, some samples did not
meet the allowable limits of the national standard, due to pH (3.9%), Turbidity (0.6%), Nitrite (3.2%), Permanganate (6.5%), and Ammonium
(5.8%). Furthermore, the microbial data revealed that the substandard water samples from municipal water systems were contaminated by
Coliform (9.7%) and/or E.coli (7.8%).
