This is the main page of nitrate risk assessment conducted in INTARESE WP3.4. The analytica file can be uploaded here: File:Nitrate.ANA



Scope

Purpose

To investigate the effects of nitrate contaminated drinking water.

Boundaries

  • European countries in selected regions:
    • Finland
    • Romania
    • Spain
    • Other?
  • Infants < 6 months of age
  • Exposure to nitrate via baby food formula mixed with drinking water
  • Effects: infant methemoglobinemia

Scenarios

  • BAU (business-as-usual)

Intended users

Participants

  • Researchers at KTL
  • Researcher at Imperial College London
  • Researchers at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
  • Researchers at Municipal Institute of Medical Research Foundation
