Why Testing for Nitrites and Nitrates Matters

Water quality impacts everything from public health to ecosystem stability. Nitrites and nitrates, often found in agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and tap water, can lead to serious health issues like methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome) and contribute to environmental problems like eutrophication.

Regular testing is the only way to ensure water safety. However, traditional lab testing can be expensive, time-consuming, and inaccessible for many. That’s where the Hach Water Test Kit NI-12 for Nitrites and Nitrates comes in.
