Tests have found excessive amounts of bacteria in barreled water leading to health concerns in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
An inspection of 18.9-liter barreled water, used in water dispensers, showed that eight out of 30 brands failed tests in the region, according to Guangxi's regional Administration for Industry and Commerce (AIC).
Most of the substandard water contained excessive bacteria, including coliform and mould, which could pose risks to human health, said Li Zhan
