Nitrate is a compound that is formed naturally when nitrogen combines with oxygen or ozone. Nitrate is a non-toxic compound, however, when it is reduced to nitrite by bacteria in the stomach, it can decrease the body's ability to transport oxygen. This can lead to many negative health effects, especially in infants and children. Longterm exposure to nitrates through your drinking water supply can cause: Where Do Nitrates Come From? Nitrates can enter your water supply naturally, though high levels of nitrates are most often found in well water supplies due to human activity. Residential, industrial, and agricultural activities such as overuse of fertilizers and improper waste disposal can all cause nitrates to enter your water supply.
