Effect of acidification in water samples before and after filtration: a caution for hydro-geochemical studies [1]

In geochemical studies of water it is a general practice to filter the water samples through a 0.45 ?m membrane. Filtered samples are then acidified with a mineral acid (mostly nitric acid) to a pH collected 24 water samples from Indus and Beas rivers and one adjoining hot spring.
