Quantifying the sources and health risks of groundwater nitrate via dual NO isotopes and Monte Carlo simulations in a developed planting-breeding area by Jianwei Liu, Shuo Qiao, Shilong Zhao, Hui Chen, Yong Wu, Donghao Li, Ping Liu, Ling Li

“…From the probabilistic health risk assessment, a relatively low probability of exceeding the threshold (HI=1) was observed (0.2 % for adults and 2.59 % for children); nevertheless, children still face some nonnegligible risk, particularly for the oral ingestion of drinking water at high-pollution sites. Therefore, we highlight the importance of effective management of manure and sewage from breeding plants and reduction of chemical N fertilizer usage are suggested in developed agricultural areas.…”
