The Nitrate in the News Section of the NECi Web brings to your attention, current and historical information on nitrate and nitrogen in the environment and the impact of nitrate pollution on human and animal health. News reports on nitrate, nitrite and nitrogen are summarized here. The brief reports on nitrate are from 1992 to the present with periodic updates.
Older reports focus only on nitrate.
More recent reports bring in information on nitrogen in the environment since it is closely linked to nitrate in the environment. Some summaries are grouped together when special topics are reviewed in several reports. Where possible links to internet sites with the original report are provided. Time constraints have made it impossible to keep the Nitrate in the News web page updated in the fashion of the past. Thus, a new format for Nitrate in the News will be used from April, 1999.
