It is an oxidizer, as all nitrates are.

Nitrates and phosphate for ammunition the seeds of war.

The main nitrates are ammonium, sodium, potassium, and calcium salts.

The nitrates come from our own mines, the saltpeter from deposits to the south.

Most contaminants are coliform bacteria and faecal streptococcus, and among chemical ones, there are ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, rare heavy metals and other toxic agents.

And then we have two parameters which we were not able to quantify air pollution, including warming gases and air polluting sulfates and nitrates, but also chemical pollution.

(b) prevent the pollution of groundwater resources, especially those in a long term perspective reserved for drinking water supply, in particular caused by nitrates, plant protection agents and pesticides as well as other hazardous substances

Photolysis in the atmosphere Photolysis also occurs in the atmosphere as part of a series of reactions by which primary pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react to form secondary pollutants such as peroxyacyl nitrates.

Different amounts of UV hit different parts of the Earth at different times of year, so you can actually work out those stores of nitric oxide the nitrates, nitrites, nitrosothiols in the skin cleave to release NO.
