    It's often associated with nitrite levels. High levels of nitrite interfere with the ability of blood to carry oxygen. The reuslting condition is known as methemoglobinemia. It's characterized by shortness of breath and blueness of skin.

    As Unknown said, there are several causes, including cardiac problems. I do note that it is advised that nitrate (which I am assuming was meant) levels be checked when well water is involved.
