De ce pot deveni nitrații din apă un risc pentru sănătatea noastră? (P)

Nitrates in water can pose significant health risks, particularly for infants, due to their potential to cause methemoglobinemia. Contamination often arises from agricultural practices, where excess fertilizers leach into groundwater. In Romania, many households rely on private water sources, which may not be safe despite appearing clear. Monitoring and responsible nutrient management are crucial to prevent pollution. Projects like RAPID aim to improve water quality and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
