Ammonia and Nitrate in Water

A Microscopic Study of Ammonia and Nitrate in Water
The world has studied the properties of water, and has studied the matter of ammonia and nitrate in detail. Water is the source of life, and ammonia and nitrate are among them, which are related to the balance of ecology and the importance of people's livelihood.

Ammonia is in water, or it is produced by the decomposition of various things. If the organic quality is rotten, the nitrogen is gradually released, and it often exists in the state of ammonia. It is lively and easy to phase with other things. In the aquatic ecology, an appropriate amount of ammonia can be a nutrient for plankton, helping them grow and maintain the chain of organisms in the water. However, if the concentration of ammonia exceeds the normal, it is extremely harmful. Aquatic things, when their gills are exposed to high ammonia, are often eroded, their breathing is blocked, and even their lives are endangered. Looking at fish ponds, there is too much ammonia accumulation, and fish float on the water surface, opening their mouths to breathe. This is a sign of ammonia damage.

As for nitrate, it is also a common thing in water. Ammonia is gradually transformed into nitrate nitrogen through the action of nitrifying bacteria. If the content of nitrate in water is appropriate, it can be absorbed by plants and promote their growth. The water of farmland irrigation canals contains an appropriate amount of nitrate, which is beneficial to crops. However, if there is too much nitrate, it also has disadvantages. In the human body, if you drink water with high nitrate, nitrate in the body can be turned into nitrite, which is carcinogenic and harmful to people's health.

Therefore, those who study water often need to measure the amount of ammonia and nitrate. Use the scientific method to accurately measure its degree, and then implement preventive measures. Or use the biological method to purify its source and control the entry of pollution; or use the biological method to adjust the quality of water with bacteria. Make sure that the amount of ammonia and nitrate in the water is in line with the needs of the ecology, keep the water clear, and protect the safety of life. In this way, the benefits of water can be long, and all things are covered by it.
