This study investigated the potential toxic effects of environmentally relevant nitrate concentrations on development, growth, and mortality of early life stages of common hour-glass tree frog, Polypedates cruciger. Tadpoles from hatchlings through pre-adult were exposed to environmentally relevant nitrate concentrations detected in Mirissa, Sri Lanka. Newly hatched, external gill stage, and internal gill stage tadpoles were exposed to potassium nitrate for bioassay tests. No behavioral changes…

Distribution of Nitrate Content in Groundwater and Evaluation of Potential Health Risks: A Case Study of Rural Areas in Northern China
TLDR
Groundwater in the Selian mining area in Inner Mongolia is shows that the concentration of nitrate ions in groundwater generally exceeds the standard, and the maximum exceeds 5.48 times the value specified in the Chinese national standard, indicating that groundwater nitrate pollution needs to be controlled urgently.

Acute and chronic toxicity of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to amphibians from southern ontario
TLDR
Toxic effects of ammonium nitrate occurred in all four species at concentrations that are commonly exceeded in agricultural areas globally, suggesting nitrate fertilizers may play a role in the apparent global amphibian decline.
Effects of atrazine and nitrate on northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) larvae exposed in the laboratory from posthatch through metamorphosis
TLDR
Concentrations of atrazine and nitrate commonly found in the environment do not appear to pose a significant threat to R. pipiens larvae through direct toxicity.
Impact of Ammonium Nitrate on Growth and Survival of Six European Amphibians
TLDR
It is shown that environmentally relevant levels of ammonium nitrate can induce mortality and might affect population dynamics of this species in agricultural environments and H. arborea was the most sensitive species studied.

Effects of Nitrate on the Tadpoles of Two Ranids (Rana catesbeiana andR. clamitans)
TLDR
These experiments suggest that these two species of anurans differ in their responses to the toxic effects of nitrate and, along with previous results on Ranids, suggest there is a great deal of variation in nitrate tolerance in this family.

TLDR
Mosquitofish and ammonium nitrate addition each had independent effects on American Toads, but there was no evidence for significant interactions between these two stressors.
