Abstract
High concentrations of nitrates in waters have been linked to methemoglobinemia in infants, and nitrates in waters and roughage have long been recognized as one cause of animal health problems. The reactions and sources of nitrogen in the environment are reviewed, and factors affecting the nitrate content of edible foods examined. The impact of changed fertilization practices and waste disposal methods on the nitrate levels in ground water requires intensive investigation. The effect of high nitrates in vegetables on infant health, and methods to minimize the nitrate content of fresh and processed vegetable products should be examined.
