Description

This study investigates the impact of chemical fertilizer use in agriculture on drinking water quality from wells in a village in the Mărginimea Sibiului area. By analyzing nitrate concentrations and other relevant parameters in water and soil, the study finds potential contamination of drinking water, with potential negative effects on public health and the local environment. The results highlight the need for sustainable water resource management and agricultural practices to protect the environment and public health in this specific region.
