Original Note:
Ministry of Health guidelines for drinking water state: "Current evidence suggests that nitrate levels lower than 50mg/L are safe." https://www.health.govt.nz/your-health/healthy-living/drinking-water/nitrate-drinking-water There was a putative link between nitrates and colerectal cancer, but after more research this is deemed unlikely. https://bowelcancernz.org.nz/new/position-statement-nitrates-drinking-water/ https://environment.govt.nz/publications/addressing-risks-associated-with-nitrates-in-drinking-water/
