Abstract

Nitrate-nitrogen (NO-N) and nitrite-nitrogen (NO-N) are constituents of the nitrogen cycle. NO-N is toxic to humans, primarily due to its reduction to NO-N. In Japan, NO-N and NO-N levels in tap water must not exceed 10 mg/L and only NO-N alone not 0.04 mg/L, respectively. In this study, we verified the effect of microorganisms and ultraviolet (UV) to increase of NO-N in water. First, all tested drinking-waters including tap water and commercial mineral water in PET bottles had < 2 mg/L NO-N and undetectable levels (< 0.01 mg/L) of NO-N. However, we found that NO-N was generated in tap water left to stand at room temperature for several days, leading to increases in CF and TC counts and reduction of NO-N. We also demonstrated that direct UV and sunlight irradiation of NO-N-containing drinking water generated NO-N in 1-2 h, with NO-N reaching > 0.04 mg/mL by 4-6 h. On the other hand, NO-N and NO-N were undetectable in commercially purified water.

摘要

硝酸盐氮（NO₃-N）和亚硝酸盐氮（NO₂-N）是氮循环的组成部分。NO₂-N对人体有毒，主要是因为它会还原为NO₃-N。在日本，自来水中NO₃-N和NO₂-N的含量分别不得超过10毫克/升和仅NO₂-N不得超过0.04毫克/升。在本研究中，我们验证了微生物和紫外线（UV）对水中NO₂-N增加的影响。首先，所有测试的饮用水，包括自来水和PET瓶中的商业矿泉水，NO₃-N含量均<2毫克/升，NO₂-N含量未检出（<0.01毫克/升）。然而，我们发现，在室温下放置数天的自来水中会产生NO₂-N，导致CF和TC计数增加以及NO₃-N减少。我们还证明，对含NO₂-N的饮用水进行直接紫外线和阳光照射，1-2小时内会产生NO₃-N，4-6小时内NO₃-N含量会达到>0.04毫克/毫升。另一方面，在商业净化水中未检测到NO₃-N和NO₂-N。
