Get to Warped Tour early! Consider not only the drive, but also if you have to stop for gas. You'll have to wait in line to get into the parking lot, the earlier you're in that line, the closer parking spot you'll get.
Nitrates are inorganic compounds that can be found in nature and in several foods we eat. In this lesson, we'll learn more about what nitrates are, what foods contain them and what side effects might occur if we consume too many of them.
Nitrate is composed of one atom of nitrogen (N) and three atoms of oxygen (O); the chemical symbol for nitrate is NO3. Nitrite (NO2) can be formed from nitrate by a chemical process called reduction. Nitrate does not normally cause health problems unless it is reduced to nitrite. Nitrate in drinking water is measured either in terms of the amount of nitrogen present or in terms of both nitrogen and oxygen. The federal standard for nitrate in drinking water is 10 milligrams per liter (10 mg/l) nitrate-N, or 45 mg/l nitrate-NO3. when the oxygen is measured as well as the nitrogen.
