Nitrates In Drinking Water April 1999. NITRATES IN drinking water. NITRATES drinking water normally contributes only a small percentage of the total nitrate intake. NITRATES http://www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/factsheets/NitrateFS.htm
Extractions: Nitrate (NO3) is a compound of nitrogen and oxygen found in many food items in your everyday diet. Generally, the concentration in the ground water is low. The major adult human intake of nitrate is from food rather than from water. Vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, beets and carrots contain significant amounts of nitrate. Drinking water normally contributes only a small percentage of the total nitrate intake. NITRATES IN DRINKING WATER Although low levels of nitrates may occur naturally in water, sometimes higher levels, which are potentially dangerous to infants, are found. Illinois has adopted a drinking water standard for nitrate of 10 milligrams per liter (10 mg/l) as N (nitrogen). This standard is mandatory for public water supplies and is used as a guide for private water supplies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also uses 10 mg/l as N as a mandatory national standard for public supplies under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The 10 mg/l standard expressed as nitrogen (N) is equivalent to 45 mg/l expressed as nitrate. SOURCES OF HIGH NITRATES It is often difficult to pinpoint sources of nitrates because there are so many possibilities. Sources of nitrogen and nitrates may include runoff or seepage from fertilized agricultural lands, municipal and industrial waste water, refuse dumps, animal feedlots, septic tanks and private sewage disposal systems, urban drainage and decaying plant debris. Geologic formations and direction of ground water flow also may influence nitrate concentration.

IRON IN DRINKING WATER Iron in drinking water. Iron is one of the earth s most plentiful resources, making up at least five percent of the earth s crust. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/water/dwg/iron.htm
Extractions: Iron is one of the earth's most plentiful resources, making up at least five percent of the earth's crust. Rainfall seeping through the soil dissolves iron in the earth's surface and carries it into almost every kind of natural water supply, including well water. Although iron is present in our water, it is seldom found at concentrations greater than 10 milligrams per liter (mg/1) or 10 parts per million (ppm). For a free brochure containing the information on this page, contact the nearest DNR office and request publication number WS-35. Iron, health and water quality What kinds of iron are found in water? Actions you can take to correct an iron problem Test your water ... For more information on iron in drinking wate r Iron is not considered hazardous to health. In fact, iron is essential for good health because it transports oxygen in your blood. In the United States, most tap water probably supplies less than 5 percent of the dietary requirement for iron. Under Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rules, iron is considered a secondary or "aesthetic" contaminant. The present recommended limit for iron in water, 0.3 mg/I (ppm), is based on taste and appearance rather than on any detrimental health effect. Private water supplies are not subject to the rules, but the guidelines can be used to evaluate water quality.
Nitrates In Drinking Water no. 0.517. Nitrates in drinking water. These feeds can have an additive effect when consumed with high nitrate drinking water. The drinking water Standard. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/crops/00517.html
Extractions: You are here: Home Crops Online Fact Sheets no. 0.517 by J.R. Self and R.M. Waskom Nitrate (NO ) is a naturally occurring form of nitrogen found in soil. Nitrogen is essential to all life. Most crop plants require large quantities to sustain high yields. The formation of nitrates is an integral part of the nitrogen cycle in our environment. In moderate amounts, nitrate is a harmless constituent of food and water. Plants use nitrates from the soil to satisfy nutrient requirements and may accumulate nitrate in their leaves and stems. Due to its high mobility, nitrate also can leach into groundwater. If people or animals drink water high in nitrate, it may cause methemoglobinemia, an illness found especially in infants. Nitrates form when microorganisms break down fertilizers, decaying plants, manures or other organic residues. Usually plants take up these nitrates, but sometimes rain or irrigation water can leach them into groundwater. Although nitrate occurs naturally in some groundwater, in most cases higher levels are thought to result from human activities. Common sources of nitrate include:
Your Drinking Water Your drinking water. For backflow information, try these No, there are very effective ways to protect you and your neighbors drinking water. http://www.mindspring.com/~loben/water.htm
Extractions: Considering the fact that safe drinking water is vital to human survival, it seems strange that the utility companies (purveyors) charge so little for the life-giving product they sell. The courts have deemed that water is a product and not a service to the public. The water purveyors take the raw material and process this material through their factories (water plants) and then sell this product to their customers for a profit. In the U.S. products which are sold for a profit have an implied warranty that the products are usable. Water has a warranty that it is fit for human consumption. The water purveyors deliver the product through a series of pipes (transmission mains and distribution mains) to the customers' water meters. Once the product (clean water) is delivered through the water meters to the customers, the water purveyor does not want this same water to return back through the meters and out into the public water supply.

Extractions: These are a series of articles regarding Drinking Water Source Assessment. These articles will inform you about your drinking water and w hat you, the public, can do to get involved in protecting your current and future drinking water quality. The federal Safe Drinking Water Act's "Source Water Assessment Program" requires every state to analyze existing and potential threats to the quality of our public drinking water supplies. Most community water suppliers deliver high-quality drinking water. As development increases in our states, it can also create threats to our drinking water. Suburban sprawl has encroached upon once-pristine watersheds, bringing with it all of the by-products of our modern life. Contamination of our drinking water occurs infrequently, but don't take our drinking water safety for granted. Greater emphasis on protecting our drinking water by you, your water supplier, and your state and local government will help keep our drinking water safe. Where Does My Drinking Water Come From?

Radon In Drinking Water Environmental Health Center. Radon in drinking water. Radon is a It may be found in drinking water and indoor air. Some people who http://www.nsc.org/ehc/radon/water.htm
Extractions: Radon in Drinking Water Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause cancer. It may be found in drinking water and indoor air. Some people who are exposed to radon in drinking water may have increased risk of getting cancer (especially lung cancer ) over the course of their lifetime. Radon from rock and soil under homes is the biggest source of radon in indoor air, and presents a greater risk of lung cancer than does radon in drinking water. The Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1996, requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a regulation to reduce radon in drinking water. On November 2, 1999, they published a proposed regulation. EPA is soliciting public comment on its proposed rule. They must receive comments, in writing, by 60 days after the November 2 publication date. A copy of the Federal Register notice of the proposed regulation and other information about radon in water can be obtained by contacting the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791. More information about radon and the proposed rule is also posted on the EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water's radon web site at The National Safety Council's National Radon Hotline is primarily responsible for providing information about radon in air. However, its radon Web page
