0-25/0-500 (mg/L) Nitrite/Nitrate Test Strips

- 0 – 10 – 25 – 50 – 100 – 250 – 500 mg/L (ppm) NO₃. (Nitrate)

Nitrate can be present in water through the biological breakdown of plant and animal matter, a key part of the nitrogen cycle. High concentrations of nitrate can also be found when nitrate-based fertilisers are used in farming.
To aquatic life, nitrate is much less toxic than ammonia, but still toxic, nonetheless. However, the main concern with elevated levels of nitrate, is that it can easily be converted to nitrite, which even at levels of 0.5 mg/L (0.5ppm) can be toxic to aquatic life.
