Hello,
I’m currently working on a short blog post for one of my classes about nitrate contamination in drinking water.
As part of the assignment, we’re supposed to reach out to someone who has experience or knowledge about the topic. I was hoping you might be willing to share a few thoughts over email if you have a moment.
From your perspective:
• What are some of the main sources of nitrate contamination in drinking water?
• Are there certain communities that tend to be more affected by nitrate pollution?
• Is there anything about this issue that you think the public often misunderstands?
Even a couple of sentences would be really helpful for my assignment. I appreciate your time and consideration.
