Nitrogen pollution

Nitrogen pollution primarily arises from agricultural practices, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhaust. Excess nitrogen compounds, mainly in the form of fertilizers, can runoff into water bodies, leading to harmful algal blooms. These blooms deplete oxygen in the water, harming aquatic life and disrupting ecosystems. Additionally, nitrogen oxides from combustion contribute to air pollution, which can harm human health and contribute to climate change. Addressing nitrogen pollution involves better agricultural practices, cleaner technologies, and effective waste management to safeguard both the environment and public health.
