Faut-il encore avoir peur des nitrates ?

Christian BUSON

De nos jours, les nitrates font l'objet d'un consensus général. La réglementation sur l'eau potable, les programmes de " reconquête " de la qualité des eaux, les investissements prévus sur les ouvrages d'épuration, les mises aux normes des exploitations agricoles, tout est essentiellement conduit en vue d'un objectif suprême et apparemment incontesté : la baisse des taux de nitrates dans les milieux et, en particulier, dans l'eau. Il paraît utile, alors que des sommes considérables doivent encore être investies dans ce but, d'examiner, à la lumière des connaissances actuelles, le rôle exact de cet anion vis-à-vis de notre santé et de notre environnement, puis de tenter une synthèse à propos des nitrates.
