Fertilizer

Previous research I have always been fascinated in understanding about the ecological and biological processes of aquatic organisms and their interaction with the environment, especially their response and impacts of greenhouse gases. My past research focused on methods development for detecting and quantifying key elements and chemical compounds that actively influence the growth and distribution of aquatic organisms, and their interaction to environmental change.

contaminated wells. Majority of the pesticides breakdown the nutrients and minerals in the water which affects the quality of the water and how drinkable it is. These chemicals will travel through runoff water into our soil. Intemperate utilize of fertilizers cause nitrate defilement

Some examples would be oil from the many streets of a city, different pesticides and fertilizer runoff from certain farms, some forest runoff, etc. There are three varied types of surface water pollution. One type is biological pollution which comes from disease causing organisms like bacteria. Another is chemical pollution which is either natural like nutrient pollution or artificial such as from fertilizers, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. There is also physical pollution that can be from sources

organically. Although, in the mid twentieth century many industrial farms began to use chemical fertilizers such as Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). DDT ran off of the fields and into streams. This contaminated water, which was harmful to the Bald Eagle and other species. DDT is the reason that Bald Eagles almost went extinct. Although not all fertilizers are as dangerous many of fertilizers we use today also runoff into streams. Organic products reduce the amount of pesticides in our food

1. Human activities can cause an imbalance in biogeochemical cycling in a couple of ways. One thing that human activities can do is alter transfer rates. In other words, certain actions from humans can cause an excess of nutrients in the environment. One example of this is phosphate heavy animal waste from livestock running off into nearby bodies of water, causing eutrophication. During eutrophication, the body of water becomes overly enriched, causing algae to grow rapidly in the water. When the

manure storage farmers face, the BC Environmental Plan Program suggests to “have facilities designed by a professional engineer whether of earthen, concrete or metal construction, size to enable the wastes to be stored until it can be spread as a fertilizer, cover solid or semi-solid manure storages in high rainfall climates, incorporate leak detection with semi-solid and liquid storages, incorporate secondary containment with liquid storages, protect from 100-year flood events, establish and maintain

Water Temperature Water temperature is important as it influences the water chemistry. As the temperature increases the amount of oxygen held begins to decrease, this decrease in oxygen may not be sufficient for aquatic life. Water temperature also affects the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, sensitivity to pollutants, and the organism's metabolic rates. A measured water temperature of 22℃ is within the ideal water temperature range. Water temperature varies due to air temperature, shade, and deeper

practices are coming into question. Agriculture is not immune to the criticisms, particularly with regard to fossil fuels. In the mid 1900s farming operations started to exploit fertilizers and land to increase the yield of inexpensive grains. Such practices require fossil fuels in immense quantities through fertilizers, pesticides, and transportation. However, passionate debates often occur over the importance and where to go from here. Michael Pollan, Katherine Mangu-Ward, and the National Chicken

The people who wrote the study have found that the pollution is coming from the fertilizers -that contains ammonia- being spread all over crops which is interfering “with local pollution, from industry and traffic” (Vidal, 2016, para. 9). The government has not done anything to prevent this from becoming worse, because they assumed that

One of the most expansive and diverse places on the Earth is dying at the hands of humans. Fossil fuels, fertilizers, and energy plants are releasing chemicals into the environment harming oceans. The ocean's ecosystem can not handle the extensive impact of today’s agriculture. The acidity of the ocean continues to increase, making the ocean’s ecosystem unstable for marine life. In order to restore oceans back to their original state, the government needs to adopt policies to help oceans face today’s
