A HAB in Lake Erie caused by agricultural runoff. Lake Erie serves as the source of drinking water for cities like Toledo, OH.Photo: Alliance for the Great Lakes Nitrate in Drinking Water Nitrate can cause other health issues when consumed, especially in young children. Exposure to drinking wa...
Pollution of water sources, largely from wide-scale agricultural fertilizer use has resulted in nitrate and nitrite contamination of drinking water. The effects on human health of raised nitrate and nitrite levels in drinking water are currently unclear. Objectives We conducted a systematic review of ...

The environmental groups, led by theMinnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, said about 80,000 residents in the eight counties rely on private wells for their drinking water, and about 300,000 others use public water systems. Groups in Minnesota are asking the Environmental Prote...
Nitrate pollution of ground and surface water bodies all over the world is generally linked with continually increasing global fertilizer nitrogen (N) use. But after 1990, with more fertilizer N consumption in developing countries especially in East and South Asia than in the industrialized nations ...
(often exceeding 100 mg/L in TDS) due to both natural and anthropogenic processes. The area is also impacted by nitrate contamination, with concentrations generally exceeding the WHO statutory limits for drinking water (50 mg/L) and reaching up to about 300 mg/L, in both the rural and ...
Regions predicted to have risk for nitrate violations in GW were the Central California Valley, parts of Washington, Idaho, the Great Plains, Piedmont of Pennsylvania and Coastal Plains of Delaware, and regions of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. For surface water (SW) systems, a classification ...

We evaluated the usefulness of a recent measure of drinking water nitrate as a predictor of long-term average nitrate exposure calculated from historic data. Exposure estimates were calculated for 214 study participants who used public water supplies between 1947 and 1980 in Minnesota. Long-term ...
