found to have
nitrate concentrations > 10 mg / L or 10 ppm
nitrate nitrogen, 5 the federal maximum contaminant level.6 It is estimated that 2 million families drink water from private wells that fail to meet the federal drinking - water standard for
nitrate, and 40000 infants younger than 6 months live in homes that have
nitrate - contaminated water supplies.4 In urban areas, municipal wastewater - treatment discharges (a source of nutrients) on surrounding farmland aggravate the problem.7
