キーワード：Ground Water , Human Health Risk Assessment , Nitrate pollution
The consumption of drinking water contaminated with nitrates has been linked to potential health risks, particularly in regards to human reproductive health. Nitrate contamination in drinking water can occur due to agricultural activities, such as the use of fertilizers, as well as poor sanitation and limited access to safe drinking water in many rural areas in Africa. Exposure to high levels of nitrates in drinking water has been linked to a range of reproductive health issues, including birth defects, low birth weight, and miscarriage. Studies have also suggested a potential link between nitrate exposure and infertility, as well as an increased risk of certain types of Cancer. t is important to note that the risk of reproductive health effects due to nitrate contamination in drinking water is influenced by many factors, including the overall health status of the individual and their nutritional status. Additionally, the guidelines for nitrate levels in drinking water are set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and many countries have their own drinking water guidelines. WHO sets the guideline for nitrate in drinking water is 50 mg/L. In conclusion, Nitrate contamination in drinking water is a major concern in many regions of Africa, and it is important to continue monitoring nitrate levels in drinking water to ensure that it is safe for consumption, particularly in relation to reproductive health.
