Function
Nitrates are normally present in natural, drinking and waste waters. Nitrates enter water supplies from the breakdown of natural vegetation, the use of chemical fertilisers in modern agriculture and from the oxidation of nitrogen compounds in sewage effluents and industrial wastes. Nitrate is an important control test for water supplies. Drinking water containing excessive amounts of nitrates can cause methaemoglobinaemia in bottle-fed infants (blue babies).
The Palintest Nitratest method provides a simple test for nitrate nitrogen over the range 0 -20 mg/l.
