“…Previous studies in Idaho detected high concentrations of nitrate in many of the State's aquifers (Rupert, 1994;Crockett, 1995;Rupert and others, 1996). Previous studies also detected increasing concentrations of nitrate in a growing number of public-and domestic-use wells (Parliman and Young, 1987;Young and others, 1987a;Young and others, 1987b;Rupert, 1994;Clark and Ott, 1996;Rupert and others, 1996). The predominant sources of nitrate in groundwater throughout much of the State are inorganic fertilizer, cattle manure, and legume crops (Rupert, 1996).…”

“…Nitrite plus nitrate concentrations in ground water exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level of 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in several locations in the upper Snake River Basin (Rupert, 1994;Parliman and Young, 1987,1988, 1989Young, Parliman, and Jones, 1987;Young, Parliman, and O'Dell, 1987). The primary health hazard of high concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate in drinking water is methemoglobinemia, or blue baby syndrome, which is characterized by a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen.…”
