Nitrate contamination poses severe health risks, particularly to infants, due to potential blue baby syndrome. Areas such as Rangareddy and Nalgonda are notably impacted by unsafe groundwater levels. Experts highlight inadequate sewage infrastructure and waste management as key contributors to this issue.
