Such nitrate levels in drinking water can interfere with the <br /> capacity of the infant's blood to carry oxygen, resulting in a serious illness; symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. Nitrate levels above 45 mg/L <br /> may also affect the ability of the blood to carry oxygen in other individuals, such as pregnant women and those with certain specific enzyme deficiencies. If you are <br /> caring for an infant, you should ask advice from your health care provider. <br /> 75C-14 <br /> <br />
