The Unexpected Source of Nitrogen Pollution: Sewage Fertilizer
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications has found that sewage fertilizer is contributing to a global surge in nitrogen pollution. The study has revealed that a significant portion of the nitrogen pollution in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas is coming from sewage fertilizers, which are used to fertilize agricultural fields. This is causing an increase in nitrogen levels in the environment, leading to ecological damage and negative health impacts. The researchers suggest that these findings could lead to more efficient waste management and improved agricultural practices that could help reduce the amount of nitrogen pollution in our environment.
