Given what we know, we can confirm that there should in fact be regulations on fertilizer manufacturers and farmers who use fertilizers to ensure that excess nitrogen does not reach water ecosystems due to its negative effects on the ecosystems.
What is Nitrogen?
- Nitrogen is an element that is most often found in a gaseous state.
- It is color and odorless.
- It is found in the air, water, and almost everywhere else around us, but in low quantities.
- It can form toxic gases such as ammonia when in high concentrations in the air.
Why can it be harmful in excess?
- Excess nitrogen in water is very bad due to the effect on algae.
- Contrary to what we may initially believe, excess nitrogen can help algae to grow at very high rates.
- However, these algae blooms sap the oxygen from the water at increased rates and damage if not kill all other marine life in the area as a consequence.
Therefore, regulations should be in place for fertilizer manufacturers and farmers who use fertilizers to ensure that excess nitrogen does not reach water ecosystems due to its negative effects on the ecosystems.
