Reversal of Nitrate

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, P. R. China

Received Date: 3 March 2019

Through three stories about nitrates, a storytelling technique is used to describe the main uses of nitrates today, including agricultural fertilizers, industrial explosives, and food preservatives. Nowadays, nitrate is suspected to be the main cause of carcinogenesis, but one coin has two sides; in fact, nitrates play an important role both in the ecological environment and in the human body. Therefore, the public can understand more about the applications of nitrates from this article. Through the accidental discovery of a rural couple in a wartime setting, this article describes the uses of nitrate in agriculture, antiseptic, immune systems and blood circulation system.
