Nitrate enters our water systems mostly by overuse of chemical fertilizers, animal feedlots or by improper disposal of sewage.

Potential health effects of nitrate in drinking water:

• Increased heart rate
• Carcinogenic
• Abdominal cramps
• Vomiting
• Nausea

Regular monitoring of water supplies is necessary to avoid exposure to high level of Nitrates.

Permissible limit of Nitrate in drinking water is 1.0 mg/L.

Our Nitrate Test Kit monitors Nitrate level in water by standard method. It can perform approximately 50 tests.
