Public meeting on nitrate contamination

Public meeting on nitrate contamination, with Dr Tim Chambers of Otago University. All welcome.

Everyone should be able to trust that the water from their tap is safe to drink. That’s why worsening nitrate contamination in drinking water is concerning.

For households on bore water in regions with intensive dairying or high synthetic nitrogen fertiliser use, the problem is getting worse.

Nitrate in drinking water is linked to increased risk of bowel cancer, Blue Baby Syndrome and preterm birth.

We want to ensure healthy drinking water for all: please join us in conversation.
