49. EPA Researchers Develop Method For Studying Agricultural Nutrient Pollution In The Midwest 3/19/2024

    Nutrient pollution is one of the most pressing issues currently facing U.S. waterways. Nutrient pollution primarily refers to when nitrogen and phosphorus, two elements that occur naturally, have adverse effects on water if they are overabundant. Excess nutrients are a result of runoff from fertilizers, detergents, wastewater, automobile emissions, and more. When these nutrients exceed natural amounts, it can lead to harmful algal blooms and hypoxia, which threaten aquatic biodiversity, as well as human health and industries like commercial fishing.
