A new $1.9 million project aims to reduce nitrate runoff into Beaver Creek, a stream that flows directly into Central Iowa’s ...

Nitrite anions comprise the largest vascular storage pool of nitric oxide (NO), provided that physiological mechanisms exist to reduce nitrite to NO. We evaluated the vasodilator properties and ...

The role of nitrite reduction in the environment can be assessed using stable isotope measurements of nitrite. Here, we present estimates for nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) isotope fractionation during ...

Cytochrome c nitrite reductase (NrfA) plays a pivotal role in the global nitrogen cycle by catalysing the six‐electron reduction of nitrite to ammonium, thereby contributing both to nitrogen ...

The utility spent $1.5 million last year to remove nitrates to levels that were safe for consumers. Water Works seeks federal oversight of the Iowa drainage districts, and indirectly, farmers.

“Both of these practices have the potential to reduce nitrates in water from 20 percent to 80 (or) 90 percent depending on water flow,” project coordinator Dian Ercse said.

Compared with those in the lowest tertile of total nitrite exposure (mean 3.3 mg/day), those exposed to the most nitrites -- a mean 8.6 mg/day -- had a 27% greater risk for type 2 diabetes (HR 1. ...
