Use of Nitrogen-15 Natural Abundance Method to Identify Nitrate Sources in Kansas Groundwater
Nitrogen isotopes have been used as a tool for identifying sources of nitrate contamination in groundwater for almost 30 years. The method is used most successfully in areas with permeable vadose zones with a shallow groundwater table and in rock units such as fractured limestone, where travel times and/or distances from the source(s) are short. The hydrogeology of Kansas is variable – groundwa...
متن کاملNitrate and Nitrite: Sources, Impact on Human Health and Reduction of Nitrate Accumulation in Agricultural Products Using Bio-fertilizers
Nitrate with the chemical formula NO3- is one of the forms of nitrogen in the environment that plays an important role in the nitrogen cycle. Vegetables, water and meat are important sources of nitrate. Nitrate is made in the body through the arginine-NO pathway and enters the body through various sources. Oral nitrate is converted to nitrite (NO2-) by bacteria when it enters the mouth, and nit...
متن کاملIdentification of the nitrate contamination sources of the Brusselian sands groundwater body (Belgium) using a dual-isotope approach.
Isotopic fingerprinting is an advanced technique allowing the classification of the nitrate source pollution of groundwater, but needs further development and validation. In this study, we performed measurements of natural stable isotopic composition of nitrate ((15)N and (18)O) in the groundwater body of the Brussels sands (Belgium) and studied the spatial and temporal dynamics of the isotope ...

Abstract Background: Increase of nitrate concentration in water sources is becoming a serious problem in many parts of the world. Nitrogen containing compounds released into environment can create serious problems, such as eutrophication of water sources and hazard potential to human health, because it has potency of causing methemoglubinemia disease and cancer. Between recommended methods, bi...
