waterTo obtain an indication of the nitrate-nitrogen levels in drinking water in rural areas of upstate New York and the number of infants at risk for methemoglobinemia, 419 wells supplying drinking water to farms were tested. Farmers were identified through two programs run by the New York ...

The researchers found that levels of nitrate in maternal drinking water were associated with birth weight, but the weight differences were small but important. Babies born to mothers whose drinking water was estimated to contain about half of the allowable level of nitrates were on average 10 grams...
Thecollaborative researchby the Universities of Otago, Loughborough, Auckland and Victoria found 800,000 people in New Zealand are exposed tonitrate levelsin water above those found to be a risk in the international studies. The estimate is based on international studies linking nitrate in drinking ...
Water Pollutants, ChemicalWater SupplyDose-Response Relationship, DrugAdultWe studied the effect of nitrate contamination of drinking water on volume and function of the thyroid in human populations exposed to different nitrate levels in their drinking water. Two sets of low and medium (tap) water,...
Incidence of early AMD was associated with elevated nitrate-nitrogen levels in rural private drinking water supply (10.0% for low, 19.2% for medium, and 26.1% for high nitrate-nitrogen level in the right eye). The odds ratios (ORs) were 1.77 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.122.78) for...
Drinking waterDietThe increasing incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in the United States is only partially explained by known risk factors. Nitrate is a contaminant of drinking water in many rural areas. We evaluated its association with NHL after accounting for dietary nitrate intake. For...
As a result, the nitrate level in drinking water is strictly regulated in many countries4. In our study, EPR measurements clearly demonstrated that NO generation from nitrate-functionalized patches was ischemia-responsive; the NO signal in ischemic hearts was markedly elevated compared to that in ...
Nitrate Levels in Community Drinking Waters and Risk of IDDM: An ecological analysis OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether higher IDDM incidence rates occurred in areas with high nitrate levels in their potable water supplies. RESEARCH DESIGN A... JN Kostraba,EC Gay,M Rewers,... - 《Diabetes Care...
There's no conclusive evidence that nitrate in drinking water causes adverse birth outcomes such as preterm birth or birth defects, according to a review for the government by the Liggins Institute at the University of Auckland.
