Dealing with Nitrate Contamination Online

Worldwide, Nitrates are the most common chemical contaminant in groundwater 
aquifers. In 1980, nine drinking water wells in California had unsafe levels of 
Nitrates. By 2007, this acute contamination had spread to more than 648 wells. 
Nitrates continue to impact the health of California residents and the problem is 
only getting worse. This workshop will help you make informed decisions about 
mitigating this contaminant. 
Participants will learn:
• What Nitrates are
• How Nitrates get into drinking water
• The acute health effects of Nitrate exposure
• How to achieve compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for 
Nitrates
