An updated review on nitrate exposure from drinking water and dietary sources and effects on human health
Chemicals in the environment
Nitrates are ubiquitous in the environment and key intermediates of various biochemical reactions in the nitrogen cycle, along with nitrites. A considerable source of nitrates is drinking water. There is substantial disagreement among scientists over the current limits for nitrate concentration in...
