Iodine concentrations in Danish groundwater: historical data assessment 1933–2011
In areas where water is a major source of dietary iodine (I), the I concentration in drinking water is an important factor for public health and epidemiological understandings. In Denmark, almost all of the dr...

Open AccessNitrate vulnerability assessment of aquifers
Protection of groundwater against nitrate has a high priority in a country like Denmark with intensive agricultural production and with drinking water production based on groundwater. This paper presents a Sit...

Iodine in major Danish aquifers
Iodine in groundwater can have direct importance for human dietary iodine intake in areas where drinking water is of groundwater origin, as in Denmark. Knowledge on the sources and processes for the varying io...

Open AccessGroundwater nitrate response to sustainable nitrogen management
Throughout the world, nitrogen (N) losses from intensive agricultural production may end up as undesirably high concentrations of nitrate in groundwater with a long-term impact on groundwater quality. This has...

Open AccessPrenatal nitrosatable prescription drug intake, drinking water nitrate, and the risk of stillbirth: a register- and population-based cohort of Danish pregnancies, 1997–2017
Nitrosatable drugs commonly prescribed during pregnancy can react with nitrite to form N-nitroso compounds which have been associated with an increased risk of stillbirth. Whether maternal residential drinking wa...

Open AccessStatistical modeling of three-dimensional redox architecture from non-colocated redox borehole and transient electromagnetic data
Agricultural nitrate pollutants infiltrate into the subsurface and contaminate groundwater. The redox environment in the subsurface is important for the natural removal of nitrate by denitrification. Detailed ...

Open AccessAssessing groundwater denitrification spatially is the key to targeted agricultural nitrogen regulation
Globally, food production for an ever-growing population is a well-known threat to the environment due to losses of excess reactive nitrogen (N) from agriculture. Since the 1980s, many countries of the Global ...
