• Nitrate

  0.69 mg/L

  High levels of nitrate in drinking water can cause methemoglobinemia, or "blue baby syndrome," in infants, a condition that reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen . Long-term exposure to elevated nitrate levels has been associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, thyroid dysfunction, and potential reproductive issues .​
