High levels of nitrates in drinkingwater can be harmful, especially to pregnant women and young children. The U.S. EPA has set the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) for total nitrate/nitrite at 10.0 mg/L and for nitrite alone at 1.0 mg/L, measured as nitrogen. Nitrite in water is a particular problem with well water, where nitrite from fertilizers is present in irrigation water and enters the well water. Hygiena™ 5-in-1 Water Test semi-quantifies nitrates (NO3), nitrite (NO2), total hardness, free chlorine, and pH.
Suitable for all types of water testing, including CIP rinse water, water used in food and beverage processing (e.g., beer, juice, soft drinks, wine, soups, etc.), tap water, well water, fish farm water, aquariums, agriculture, and more.
