Yes they cause water pollution, as they are chemicals which are use to improved the quality and quantity of crops, but at last they settle at bottom of the crop, and get mixed with soil. And with rain they gets dissolved with soil , later when the rain water gets down under soil , they also get mixed in the water and cause water pollution.

Is pollution good for your health?
Pollutants and pathogens in air can cause respiratory ,skin and optic problems.Chemicals and pathogens in water can cause water borne disease.Chemical fertilisers and pesticides used in agriculture has harmful health problems.Sound pollution above 20,000 frequencies and high decibles from machines and traffic,loudspeakers etc. can damage the auditory system.
What kind of pollution occurs when livestock waste and agricultural chemicals enter the water supply?
In general, when water is polluted it is called, surprisingly enough, water pollution. Specifically, livestock waste and agricultural chemicals would be chemical water pollution (since there are chemicals dissolved in the water), to differentiate these from particulate pollution (soot, silt, and clay suspended in the water).Excess Nitrates from organic or inorganic fertilisers can also cause severe algal blooms. this process is called Eutrification.
Which is the cause of water pollution?
Water pollution is the contamination of bodies of water
How can fertilizer cause pollution?
They cause pollution because the chemicals put into the fertilizers run into the water; then causing water pollution.

Pollution due to excessive fertilisers used by farmers leading to Eutrophication?
Over-application of chemical fertilisers or application of chemical fertilisers at a time when the ground is waterlogged or the crop is not able to use the chemicals, can lead to surface runoff or leaching into groundwater Storage and application of some fertilisers in some weather or soil conditions can cause emissions of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) primarily associated with the use of artificial fertilisers, because of the massive quantities applied and the destructive nature of chemical fertilisers on soil nutrient holding structures The high solubility of chemical fertilisers also exacerbates their tendency to degrade ecosystems
