Elevated and Dangerous: Health Implication of High Nitrate in Central Valley Well Water - Livestream

Join us as we discuss the upward trend in nitrate levels in Central Valley groundwater, its link to dairy manure, and its subsequent health concerns. The California Water Resources Control Board recently released a draft of new dairy manure management regulations with the intent of better addressing rising nitrate levels. Our recent comments on the draft refer to preliminary data from Stanford researchers exploring some of the health concerns linked to high nitrate consumption. 

Our panel of experts in geophysics, human health, and environmental justice will discuss these issues as well as the history of dairy manure management in the Central Valley. We’ll share research exploring the health implications of high nitrate consumption and the broader challenges associated with contaminated groundwater in parts of the Central Valley.
