For over three weeks now, no Batocy water is available. I KSHPK tells of the effect mangania has on health

It's been over three weeks since Badoc's water. That's because in laboratory results, there are increased manganine values. Since IKSHPK's announcement, citizens are buying water or taking it to the Autobots moving around the neighborhood.

Yesterday's IKSHPK has provided details about the Mangani and the Badoc situation.

Dr. Burbuke Lushi, IKSHPK water centre coordinator, has said that the manganine's value in the water of drink from Badoci Lake is dropping in the last few days, but according to her, they have not yet fallen to the value that is envisioned by administrative guidelines.

According to her, this water cannot be used for drink, but it can be used for any other daily activity, such as personal hygiene, environmental hygiene, and food preparation.

She has added that establishing mangani values is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the change of seasons.

The recent lab analysis, though showing a decline in mangani values in lake water, as well as in the distribution network these values still do not meet the preset standards according to administrative direction, quality of water destined for consumption. We want to ensure the population that IKSHPK in co-operation with CRU Pristina is doing all that is in their competencies and their chances of reducing these values and meeting the criteria set by administrative instruction”.

The growth of mangan values is actually a natural phenomenon that occurs during the seasons in surface resources. In order to inform you right now that the latest laboratory measurements result in that in the last four days, mangani's values date 7 of the lowest value has been 0.19 milligrams per litre, while the highest value of 0.40 milligrams per litre. By the 8th was the mangani's value from 0,19 to 0.15 per litre. By November 9, 0.17 to 0.30 milligrams per litre. By the 10th, the last result yesterday is that the value of the mangani in the row was between 00,58 and 0,19 milligrams per litre. Despite the fact that values are coming to light that the value allowed for drinking use is 00.5 and has not yet been achieved. This water can be used for any other daily activity, personal hygiene, environmental hygiene, food preparation, and so forth. We announce the population that water from the resources of Lake Batlava, as well as water from the factory in Shkabaj that receives water from Weiman Lake meets the initial criteria for drinking water”, she said.

Nushi has also spoken of the effect mangani has on his health. It says that in low value it is necessary for growth and development but that high value affects the central nervous system mainly.

“Mangan is a chemical element, or better told metal, calculated or classified in heavy metals. On the other hand, there are two directions to health impacts. Like essential metal, low value is necessary for growth and development. There's mangani everywhere. Both food and air and water. It's one of the most widely distributed metals on earth. The 0.05 values instruct us that it has no harmful effect on health, but on the other hand it affects our growth and development. Any value that exceeds preparable values, such as heavy metal, is transformed into toxicity, primarily the central nervous system, but it can affect other organization functions”, Nushi said.

Director IKSHPK, Naser Ramadani, has said that this institution is in constant co-operation with the KRU Pristina, as well as the Food and Veterinary Agency (AUV).

He has said that AUV inspectors are per day in the field, making continued control in all institutions even in all areas.

“We have been co-operating from the first day with CRU Pristina and with the management of this institution. Co-operation with AUV is permanent. AUV inspectors are per day on the ground doing continuous control in all institutions even in all areas in this case of gastronomy”, he said.
