Nitrate & Nitrite Drinking Water Contamination

Nitrate & Nitrite Drinking Water Contamination Attorneys

Nitrate and nitrite have been found at high levels in drinking water all over the country. Due to the danger of ingesting food or water with high nitrate/nitrite levels, the federal government has laws and regulations that set a limit on how much nitrate is allowable in drinking water. Despite this limit, the federal government's enforcement efforts are often ineffective, and dangerous levels of nitrates and nitrites have been found in drinking water across the country.

The environmental lawyers at The Collins Law Firm, however, can use these laws to fight on your behalf. Our lawyers represent communities and neighborhoods throughout the country that are suffering due to toxic contamination. We have recovered tens of millions in property damage on behalf of our environmental litigation clients and have successfully fought to ensure that their drinking water is safe. We have also recovered millions for people who have become seriously ill due to toxic chemical exposure.

If your neighborhood is affected by toxic nitrate and nitrite water contamination, we can help you, too. Our experienced attorneys will guide you through the complex legal issues involved in a toxic water contamination claim and fight for a fair resolution for you. Contact us for help if you have been harmed by drinking water contamination.

A Widespread Problem

High levels of nitrate, and the related compound nitrite, found in soil and groundwater are often caused by improper animal waste disposal on farms, leaking septic tanks, pesticide residue from crops, and fertilizer runoff. Besides contaminating the soil and groundwater, these compounds are also known to contaminate drinking water, especially in private wells. Consuming water or food with elevated levels of nitrate or nitrite can lead to serious health problems including:

  • Methemoglobinemia ("blue-baby syndrome")
  • Birth Defects
  • Gastrointestinal Tract Cancers
  • Thyroid Dysfunction and Cancer
