Fieldwork in Cameroon and Chemical analyses in Japan: First and second field works in Douala and Yaounde (Cameroon) have been carried out from December 2014 to January 2015 and September to October 2015. Monthly rain sampling from January-December 2015 has been completed. The most important chemical analysis of over 177 groundwater, surface water and rain water samples have been analysed in Tokai University. September-October 2015: Based on results of chemical analyses for the first field trip, users of drinking water with high nitrate concentrations (>50 ppm) were presented the analytical results and educated on the effects of such high concentrations on human life especially infants.
