| Over the past two centuries, nitrate production and consumption have significantly increased, especially in the field of agriculture. There is a higher possibility of observing nitrate concentrations above the maximum contaminant level in private water systems and shallow wells. The consumption of nitrate-contaminated drinking water can lead to entering of large nitrate quantities into the body. According to epidemiological studies, exposure to elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water causes methemoglobinemia in children. In this regard, even the guidelines related to the level of nitrate in drinking water provided by the US.EPA and World Health Organization were promulgated to protect infants from developing the acute condition of methemoglobinemia. Complex interactions between ingested nitrate and hemoglobin in the body might have adverse health effects, including reduced oxygen transferrin capability and methemoglobinemia known as blue baby syndrome. This study aimed to briefly review the epidemiological studies related to the source of nitrate in drinking water and adverse health effects on infants, such as methemoglobinemia. |
