Abstract

Introduction. Nitrate from pollutants that threaten
human health is not possible to see contamination because it does not affect
the color, odor or taste of the water resources. Nitrate converts to nitrite, invite many diseases, especially
cancer. The most important reason for the toxic acceptance of these substances
is that they react with secondary minerals present in the human body to form
nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Studies conducted in recent years show
that in most countries the nitrate concentration in drinking water sources exceeds
the permissible limit value Aim of the
study. In this review, the effects of nitrate on public health, toxicity,
chemistry and nitrate removal processes have been investigated. Main purpose,
reduce the excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers in agricultural land,
domestic and industrial wastewater treatment and prevent uncontrolled disposal
or storage of animal wastes by raising public awareness. Results. Nitrate and nitrite in the water are indicators of water quality.
Since the pollution formation is a rather expensive and laborious process, it
is necessary to control the sources causing nitrate pollution. Conclusions. Nitrate pollution waters
and risky areas should be determined, nitrate pollution prevention and
remediation studies should be done in risky and polluted waters. Drinking water
sources and their surroundings must be protected from nitrate pollution
sources. People should be conscious of this issue as the most important factor
to prevent danger before pollution occurs.
