Abstract
The main objective of the present study was to determine the distribution levels of nitrate contamination in groundwater and its associated impact on human health risk in the Yerraguntla mandal, South India. For this 40 ground water samples were collected randomly during April 2018. Nitrate concentration in groundwater samples ranged from 2.50 to 760.12 mg/L, with a mean value of 86.13 mg/L. Most of the groundwater samples are exceeding the permissible limits of nitrate (45 mg/l). Hence health risk assessment of nitrate has been carried out. Hazard quotient (HQ) values for infants, children, male and female ranges from 0.05 to 14.25; 0.06 to 18.53; 0.04 to 12.18 and 0.05 to 14.62, respectively. The finding of data showed that HQ value was more than 1 in 42.5% of samples in groups of infants, children and female, and 35% of samples in group of male.
