MCL Inorganics Review Nitrate and Nitrite
{"Image DocumentName": "MCL Inorganics Review \uf021Nitrate and Nitrite", "Image ImageDescription": "MCL are: nitrate = 10 mg/L, nitrite = 1 mg/L, nitrate + nitrate = 10 mg/L. Blue baby syndrome or methemeglobinemia, results in loss of oxygen to the brain, with possible brain damage. Infants months most at risk. Sources include fertilizer, animal manure, and septic tank leachate. \uf021Lead and Copper. Action Levels for lead and copper (When the Action Levels are exceeded, corrosion control is required), lead = mg/L, copper = 1.3 mg/L. The health effect of lead is damage to the nervous system and lowered intellectual development, especially in developing children. The health effect of copper is minor, but can cause severe reaction in some individuals who are allergic to copper. Lead and copper are regulated in a Treatment Technique which requires systems to take tap water samples at sites with lead pipes or copper pipes that have lead solder and/or are served by lead service lines. The action level, which triggers water systems into taking treatment steps if exceeded in more than 10% of tap water samples, for copper is 1.3 mg/L, and for lead is 0.015mg/L. \uf021Fluoride. Fluoride MCL = 4 mg/L. Causes mottling of teeth and may cause bone deformation or fluorosis. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is normally present in groundwater.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
