Water & Health in the Valley: Nitrate Contamination of Drinking Water and the Health of San Joaquin Valley Residents
- Description
- Community Water Center’s Health and Drinking Water Series: This is the first of a series of reports that examine the prevalence of common
drinking water contaminants in the San Joaquin Valley and the rates of
related health indicators as outlined in public health literature. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health indicators can
“…provide information about a population’s health status with respect to
[environmental] factors that can influence health.”3 Our intention is to draw
connections between contaminants in drinking water and the high rates of
many diseases prevalent in the San Joaquin Valley
