Methemoglobinemia is due to
- A Excess of nitrate concentration in drinking water
- B Excess of sulphate concentration in drinking water
- C Excess of fluoride concentration in drinking water
- D Excess of lead in drinking water
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Excess of nitrate concentration in drinking water
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Excess of nitrate concentration in drinking water. High level of nitrate in drinking water can cause methemoglobinemia also known as blue baby syndrome. When consumed, nitrates are absorbed into the blood and some are converted into nitrate which reacts with blood to create…
