Slater finds high nitrite levels, warns drinking water may harm babies
Die Stadt Slater, Iowa, hat erhöhte Nitritwerte von 1.10 mg/L in der städtischen Wasserversorgung festgestellt, was den Grenzwert von 1 mg/L überschreitet. Bewohner werden dringend gebeten, Säuglingen unter sechs Monaten kein Leitungswasser zu geben, da dies zu gesundheitlichen Problemen wie dem "Blue Baby Syndrom" führen kann. Das Abkochen oder Filtern des Wassers wird nicht empfohlen, da es Nitrite nicht entfernt und sogar konzentrieren kann.
