nitrate levels, which in certain circumstances can turn
into carcinogens.
When exposed to bacteria in the mouth or enzymes in the body,
nitrates turn
into nitrites, which then either turn
into nitric oxide or nitrosamines.
Beets contain high concentrations of
nitrates, which are converted
into nitrites in the body.

Do not reserve any leftover beet water to use for thinning out the beets because
Nitrates could seep
into the cooking water.
due to
nitrates that leech out of the greens
into the water, if you steam your veggies, try not to use the water to puree or thin out your baby food, and
Nitrates may in fact seep
into the water used for cooking.
Nitrates used in farming, and the excess not taken in by the crop itself, easily run - off and may seep
into water tables, contaminating water supplies.
Some hat - makers from the 1700s through the early 1900s really did behave as if insane, due to the long - term exposure to mercuric
nitrate, used in the millinery industry to turn fur
into felt.
The reaction rate between atmospheric hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine
nitrate (ClONO2) is greatly enhanced in the presence of ice particles; HCl dissolves readily
into ice, and the collisional reaction probability for ClONO2 on the surface of ice with HCl in the mole fraction range from ∼ 0.003 to 0.010 is in the range from ∼ 0.05 to 0.1 for temperatures near 200 K. Chlorine (Cl2) is released
into the gas phase on a time scale of at most a few milliseconds, whereas nitric acid (HNO3), the other product, remains in the condensed phase.
That's why it's important to prevent contaminants from getting
into the source water in the first place, for instance by installing wood chip bioreactors on farms to reduce
nitrates in runoff water, says Michelle Soupir, a water quality engineer at Iowa State University in Ames.
The «fresh» exhaust gas now transforms
into different substances: salt particles such as ammonium
nitrate to mention one.
Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuel burning has released sulfate and
nitrate ions — both acid rain precursors —
into the atmosphere at unprecedented levels.
But ammonium
nitrate has a potentially lethal downside: If it comes
into contact with an open flame or other ignition source, it explodes violently.
The explosive force occurs when solid ammonium
nitrate decomposes very rapidly
into two gases, nitrous oxide and water vapor.
Nitrogen gas is released
into the atmosphere, while
nitrate — an important plant nutrient — stays in the treated water.
Scientists have long known that
nitrate - loaded fertilizers run off from farms and city streets
into bodies of water, sometimes creating giant «dead zones» hundreds of miles downstream.
The sediment operates as a chemical filter in that microbes in the sand, gravel and mud gobble up compounds such as oxygen and
nitrates from the water before the water discharges back
into the stream.
While further research is needed, this would make it unlikely that natural systems can accommodate the high levels of
nitrates that have made their way from farmland and other sources
into the river network's waterways.
In the «power tower», potassium and sodium
