⚠️ Contaminants Above EPA MCLG (1)
Nitrite and Nitrate
What is Nitrite and Nitrate?
Compounds consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms; naturally occurring and help sustain plant and animal life
Health Effects
Drinking water standards for nitrate and nitrite have been developed based on hematological toxicity observed in epidemiological studies. At elevated levels, these compounds have been shown to cause methemoglobinemia, also known as 'blue baby syndrome', a blood system disorder that is especially hazardous for infants and pregnant women. Nitrate and nitrite are frequently detected in groundwater and surface water.
