The panel&#8217;s recommendation was to take a precautionary approach to protect against the risk of bowel cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Greenpeace Aotearoa freshwater campaigner Will Appelbe says, <\/strong>\u201cRural families\u2019 drinking water is being poisoned by the intensive dairy industry, yet the New Zealand Government is burying its head in the sand and pretending there\u2019s no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cA growing body of international evidence has linked elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water with several human health risks, including bowel cancer, preterm birth, and Blue Baby syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBut while Denmark looks to implement changes to protect people from these health risks, the Luxon Government is protecting dairy industry profits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Appelbe says that the Danish situation is a \u2018good news story\u2019 &#8211; one that New Zealand needs to replicate.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe Danish Government has recognised a threat to human health, and is looking to take action to stop the problem from getting worse.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNitrate contamination has been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer, preterm birth, and at high levels, Blue Baby syndrome. Another recent international study suggests a correlation between high nitrate in drinking water and increased dementia risk. The weight of the available evidence supports taking a precautionary approach and reducing exposure to nitrate contamination.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe evidence is clear. Nitrate contamination puts people\u2019s health at risk. That\u2019s why we\u2019re calling on the Luxon Government to lower the Maximum Acceptable Value &#8211; the legal limit &#8211; for nitrate in drinking water now.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-15662 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action
