Nitrates are heavy oxidants.
They are undesirable substances, harmful for human health. The ingestion of a large quantity can cause gastric problems, hives and rashes and other reactions or illnesses.
Chemical fertilizers
They are used as chemical fertilizers in intensive agriculture. Other sources of nitrates include septic tank leakage, livestock manure, and erosion of natural deposits.
Tasteless, colorless and odorless
These tasteless, colorless and odorless nitrates get absorbed by plant roots, but their excessive use pollutes water tables and aquifers and eventually contaminate our bottled water. Nitrates are heavy oxidants that are harmful to humans and have been found to have short-term and long-term health effects. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) = 50 mg/L (according EU legislation.)
In many European countries,
legislation requires bottled water brands
to clearly label their nitrate levels.
10 mg/L
Is the maximum level recommended for babies and expecting mothers.
which is
of the maximum contaminant level (MCL)
recommended for adults.
Avoid Nitrates
in pregnancy
and early childhood
Clinical studies have shown a connection between high nitrates levels during pregnancy and various health issues in babies.
These include blue baby syndrome, oral cleft defects, neural tube defects and limb deficiencies.
Women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant
should avoid drinking nitrate-contaminated water.
Babies, especially under 6 months, can become seriously ill if exposed
to nitrate levels above 10 mg/L.
Blue baby syndrome is a condition where the infant has decreased oxygen and blood circulation.
Among the reported cases in US infants, most have been attributed to nitrate contaminated water used to prepare infant formula.
