Research Advances in the Analysis of Nitrate Pollution Sources in a Freshwater Environment Using δ<sup>15</sup>N-NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> and δ<sup>18</sup>O-NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>

Nitrate is usually the main pollution factor in the river water and groundwater environment because it has the characteristics of stable properties, high solubility and easy migration. In order to ensure the safety of water supply and effectively control nitrate pollution, it is very important to ac...
