Abstract

This study was aimed at assessing the occurrence of nitrate in poorly anthropized areas at a regional scale, as an attempt to estimate the nitrate background in areas far from intense agriculture, farming, industrial activities and urban areas.

Nitrate in the spring waters was in the range of
