are a major part offertilizers
, so when we use fertilizers they get in the soil and from there to the underground water supply.
The reason they usually get past the purification at the water plant is that nitrates are very soluble in water and very hard to separate

Are all nitrates soluble in water?
Yes
Why is having too many nitrates and nitrates in the soil is so bad?
Nitrates are a fertilizer, so when nitrates hit a pond or stream, the plants there could overtake and drain all the oxygen out of all the plants, so the plants will die. The animals living there are also affected, because for example, fish in the water could die if a water hyacinth gets nitrates because the fish in the water will not get any sunlight.
Why are nitrates used as sources of the metal ions?
Nitrates are used as sources of metal ions because all metal nitrates are soluble in water. This is very useful for metals such as lead and silver whose compounds are usually insoluble.
Is silver nitrate soluble in water?
Yes, nitrates such as this can be assumed to be soluble.
What is sentence for nitrates?
You have to prepare some nitrates in the lab.Can you make nitrates from ammonia?
What can be done to help prevent nitrates from entering your water supply?
It is strongly recommended to avoid contaminated sources of drinking water. Methods for deleting nitrates: - distillation - ion exchange - reverse osmosis
Which nitrates are insoluble in water?
none. all nitrates are soluble.
What are most nitrates?
Nitrates are ionic compounds soluble in water.
How do nitrates get in your water systems?
Acid rain contains nitrates, as does some runoff water from fertilized soil.
Are Nitrates are needed to produce glucose?
No nitrates are not needed.Mainly CO2 and water is needed
How do nitrates get into drinking water?
It is very difficult to pin point exactly where the Nitrate supply is coming from. One way nitrates get into the water is the farmers using Fertilizers and pesticides contain high amounts of ammonia and when ammonia oxidizes it produces nitrates that get washed into streams and in underground water supplies. Another way is that when plants die they produce nitrogen and when nitrogen forms with oxygen it produces nitrate which again gets washed into the soil.
