Nitrogen is a widely-used, essential input to crop production. In many regions of the United States, nitrogen from farms has leaked into drinking water and caused adverse health impacts. These health impacts include methemoglobinemia, a condition that inhibits the blood’s ability to carry oxygen around the body. This workshop hosted by the Environmental Health Matters Initiative (EHMI) explored what actions can be taken on several levels to address the nitrogen contamination problem.
Workshop sessions took place every Thursday from 2:30–5:30 PM (ET) from January 28 – February 25, 2021. Download the agenda here.
