👉 The term "nitrated" is often used to describe a substance that contains nitrogen. Nitrates are salts of nitrate, which means they contain one or more nitrogen atoms attached to the cation (e.g., sulfate) in their chemical formula. Nitrates can be found naturally as well as man-made products such as fertilizers and pharmaceuticals. They are also used in various industrial processes for making plastics, paper, and other materials.
