Nitrate pollution represents one of the most important issues for ground and surface water quality and source identification is essential to develop effective mitigation practices. Nitrate isotopic fingerprint can be utilized to identify the sources of nitrate pollution in aquifers. However, it is crucial to assess the performances (precision and accuracy) of the analytical procedure applied to measure the δ15 N and δ18 O values of nitrates from field samples to correctly apply this tool.

Abstract
Nitrate pollution represents one of the most important issues for ground and surface water quality and source identification is essential to develop effective mitigation practices. Nitrate isotopic fingerprint can be utilized to identify the sources of nitrate pollution in aquifers. However, it is crucial to assess the performances (precision and accuracy) of the analytical procedure applied to measure the δ15 N and δ18 O values of nitrates from field samples to correctly apply this tool.File in questo prodotto:
