The risk of cancer as a result of elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water and vegetables in Central India
The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of nitrates on the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer development. Nitrate converted to nitrite under reducing conditions of gut results in the formation of N-nitrosamines which are linked to an increased gastric cancer risk. A population of 234 individuals with 78 cases of GI cancer and 156 controls residing at urban and ...

Nitrate Analysis of Water Samples Using a Benchtop UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
Nitrogen is naturally found in groundwater and surface water in the form of nitrate, nitrite, or ammonium. The EPA has established a maximum contaminant level of nitrate-nitrogen in potable water of 10ppm. This application presents results of UV-Vis analysis of nitrate concentrations in drinking water, ground water, and industrial wastewater, showing that the manual colorimetric method is ...

Wastewater. One Name, Many Terms | A Wastewater Glossary | YASA ET Tips
Wastewater, also referred to as sewage, includes water from household or building use (such as toilets, showers, and sinks) that can contain human faecal waste, as well as water from non-household sources (such as rain and industrial use) which for this reason contain organic and inorganic substances that can damage health and the environment. These types of water, after their use, cannot ...
