	Howstuffworks "What is sodium nitrate? It seems like lots of meats contain it. Is it in any way harmful?"
		You have probably noticed that nearly all meats that contain sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite remain pink or red even though they are cooked during processing.
		Sodium nitrite reacts with stomach acid and other chemicals in the stomach to produce nitrosamines, which have been shown to cause cancer in animals when consumed in large quantities.
		However, there's not much sodium nitrate/nitrite in meats, and we consume sodium nitrate/nitrite from other foods as well, so it is not clear that they are harmful in the quantities we get from meats.

	Album Desierto - History about Nitrate (English)
		Once the caliche (raw material of nitrate) was extracted and after having crushed it into small pieces, it was leached by cooking it with water in one or two copper cauldrons, which were heated over live fire by means of a furnace or firebox, which, placed under or between the two cauldrons permitted heating both.
		When nitrate that first was in a state of solution is crystallized, it is a perfectly white clot, of a characteristic smell and that keeps the humidity, so it must be exposed to the air to dry.
		Caliche or the mineral of sodium nitrate native of the provinces of Tarapacá and Antofagasta is said to have been used by agricultural fertilizer by the natives of that region.

		Nitrates are present in water (particularly ground water) as a result of decay of plant or animal material, the use of agricultural fertilizers, domestic sewage or treated wastewater
		The maximum acceptable concentration of nitrite in drinking water is 1 mg/L (measured as nitrogen) based as with nitrate primarily on the relationship between nitrite in water and the incidence of infantile methaemoglobinaemia.
		Nitrite is fairly rapidly oxidized to nitrate and is therefore seldom present in surface waters in significant concentrations.
