  • Title: Nitrate contents of well, raw, treated and pipe borne water in Vom, Plateau State, Nigeria.
    Author: Gbodi TA, Atawodi SE.
    Journal: Vet Hum Toxicol; 1987 Apr; 29(2):151-2. PubMed ID: 3576949.
    Abstract:
    Nitrate content of water available to man and animals in a rural community in Plateau State, Nigeria was determined. Water samples were obtained from artesian wells, raw untreated surface water, treated raw water, and pipe borne water. The examination of the samples was over a period of 3 mo at weekly intervals. Sixty percent of the artesian wells sampled had nitrate concentration above 5-50 ppm in June and August, while samples from other sources had less than 1 ppm. The proximity of pit latrines to some of the wells may have been responsible for high nitrate content of the well water.
