Nitrate in Lake Superior: On the Rise
Researchers from the University of Minnesota have recently released the results of a study that shows nitrate levels in Lake Superior have been rising steadily over the past century and are about 2.7 percent of the way toward making the lake's water unsafe to drink. The complexity of the causes underlying the increase makes it difficult to predict when the water could become unhealthy. The trend is a concern because Lake Superior contains 10 percent of the Earth's supply of surface fresh water. Too much nitrate can reduce blood levels of oxygen, which poses a risk to infants and children...
