dc.description.abstract	This study assessed and monitored the concentrations of Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni, in three (3) Bottled and five (5) Sachet water in Ijebu-North LGA of Ogun state, Nigeria. Analysis was run on the water samples using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results revealed that the concentrations of the following metals Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, and Cd in the samples were low compared with World Health Organisation (WHO) standard 2005 and the following, Zn, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cr, were not detected. However, close monitoring of metals pollution and the drinking of sampled water of IjebuNorth LGA of Ogun state is recommended with a view to minimizing the risks to the health of the population that depends on the water supply.	en_US
