What type of pollutant Fertilizers such as nitrates and phosphates are examples of?
plant nutrient
What forms of polyatomic ions occur in nature?
The predominant ones are nitrates, carbonates, sulfates, silicates, aluminates, and phosphates. There are several variations of the latter three of these types.
What are nitrates and how do they get into your water supply?
Nitrates are a major part offertilizers, so when we use fertilizers they get in the soil and from there to the underground water supply.The reason they usually get past the purification at the water plant is that nitrates are very soluble in water and very hard to separate
What happens if there is too many nitrates and phosphates in water?
When there is too much phosphate in the water it causes algal blooms. When the decomposers try to break down the phosphate they use up all the oxygen, leaving none for the other organisms. when this happens all the organisms end up dying.
Why is the air made up mostly of nitrogen gas?
Because nitrogen and nitrates are not easily permanently bonded with other elements. As are for example, the silicates or the phosphates. Or even the oxides.
