Why Are Nitrites an Issue When Found in Water?
When present in drinking water, nitrates pose many concerns that affect the water’s quality and usability.
What are Nitrites?
Nitrites are chemical compounds commonly found in the environment, often resulting from the breakdown of nitrates or organic matter. They consist of one nitrogen atom bonded to two oxygen atoms, forming part of the nitrogen cycle. In water, nitrites can originate from agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, or septic system leakage.
Nitrates are a significant concern in water because they can originate from agricultural runoff, fertilizers, septic systems, and industrial waste, leading to elevated levels in water supplies. Their presence indicates potential contamination that can harm human health and the environment.
In particular, nitrates are challenging to remove from water and may require advanced treatment processes, necessitating regular monitoring to ensure water remains safe for consumption and use.
How do Nitrates affect water quality?
Nitrates in water can contribute to nutrient pollution, leading to algae and aquatic plant growth. This process, known as eutrophication, depletes oxygen levels in water bodies, affecting marine life and potentially resulting in dead zones where little to no life can survive.
Excessive nitrates can also alter the taste and odor of water, making it less desirable for consumption and possibly indicating broader water quality issues that need to be addressed.
How DO Nitrites affect your health?
Nitrates in drinking water pose a particular risk to infants and young children. It can potentially cause methemoglobinemia, also known as “blue baby syndrome,” which affects the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
In adults, high nitrate levels may contribute to other health issues, including gastrointestinal problems and an increased risk of certain cancers. Consequently, monitoring and managing nitrate levels in drinking water are critical to ensuring public health safety and preventing these adverse health effects.
