title: [Hygienic evaluation of nitrate levels in drinking water and vegetable food products in various regions of Lithuania].
abstract: Significantly higher nitrate content was detected in drinking water and vegetables grown by the rural population in the regions where industrial enterprises producing chemical fertilizers are located, as compared to the control regions. It has been concluded that a special attention should be paid to the daily level of nitrates ingested by the population (especially by children) in the industrial regions of the Republic and to their health state.
