Results of contents monitoring are summarized following from the presence of 16 elements contained in 16 mineral waters from the Czech and Slovak Republics. Contents of toxic elements (eg. Hg, Cd, Pb, Ni) were found in all cases under detection level, by nearly half of the samples (western and northern part of the Czech Republic) values be were monitored exceeding 0,005 mh/l. the contents of other monitored elements (eg. Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn) were mostly found in a very broad spectrum. Measured values were compared with those declared on labels in some cases significantly considerable positive and negative differences were monitored. The paper gives short characteristics of samples according to individual localities: by mean of four-stage quality assessment the individual waters were allocated into groups according to the total of points given for 7 elements.
