Abstract :

Water is the most vital component of nature on which the life of all creatures, including humans, depends. But in recent decades, with the growing trend of the human population as well as industrialization, the entry of pollutants into running and groundwater has made it difficult to achieve optimal drinking water. One of the most important pollutants is nitrate and nitrite ions, which can have side effects when they enter the body. In this study, nitrate ion concentrations in different areas of Mashhad metropolis are compared and compared with the standard amount of the World Health Organization (WHO), and at the end, solutions to prevent it from entering the water are presented.
