Nitrate Toxicity

The following aspects have been covered relating to the "Health hazards of high nitrate ingestion":
  • Methemoblobenaemia – A problem of all age groups
  • Cytochrome b5 reductase adaptation
  • Recurrent Stomatitis
  • Recurrent Diarrhea in children
  • Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infection in children
  • All these aspects and its pathophysiology relating to ingestion of inorganic Nitrate have been reported first time.

    Scientific papers have been published in national and international journals, and, presented in national and international conferences.

  • Development of cheap, easy to use domestic nitrate removal technique (Ongoing Research)
