Other studies have shown modest evidence that higher nitrate intake can increase the risk of thyroid cancer and ovarian cancer among women. Measure We present exposure data on the 95th percentile of the population, representing people with the greatest exposure.
This study showed that there is an association between the intake of nitrate from drinking water and a type of cancer in humans. The effective way of controlling nitrate concentrations in drinking water is the prevention of contamination (water pollution).

Jul 1, 2022 · Despite the growing body of evidence synthesized here, it is not possible to reach a definitive conclusion on the risk of cancer associated with nitrate in drinking water, since most cancer types were investigated by four studies or less.
Jun 11, 2019 · Nitrate pollution of U.S. drinking water may be responsible for up to 12,594 cases of cancer a year, at a cost of up to $1.5 billion for health care, according to a new peer-reviewed study by the Environmental Working Group.
Jul 23, 2018 · Considering all studies, the strongest evidence for a relationship between drinking water nitrate ingestion and adverse health outcomes (besides methemoglobinemia) is for colorectal cancer, thyroid disease, and neural tube defects. Many studies observed increased risk with ingestion of water nitrate levels that were below regulatory limits.

Mar 3, 2022 · Upon reviewing the epidemiological evidence, evidence for an association between nitrate and colon cancer (OR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.02 to 1.41) is currently stronger than for nitrate and rectal cancer (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 0.90 to 1.49) which is consistent with the latest evidence on the sites in the bowel where the mutagenic impact of dietary nitrite is ...
The effects on human health of raised nitrate and nitrite levels in drinking water are currently unclear. Objectives: We conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature on the association of nitrate and nitrite in drinking water with human health with a specific focus on cancer.
