In regards to pollution, with rainfall, the chemicals can run off into near water sources.
Advancements in agriculture such as the switch from organic to chemical fertilizers and introduction of pesticides and pest-resistant strains have resulted in increased yields of healthy crops. But this fertilizer affects soil for if fertilizer is being used, the soil will not be fertile and the chemicals in the crops can harm the health of consumer.
It harms the planet, go with organic!
This question is too broad to answer due the wide variety of chemicals in fertilizer, except to say that generally, the chemicals get into the crops and then into those who eat the crops, which is why organic farming is becoming more and more popular and desired by people who have studied this issue.

The principal and desirable effect is to obtain a greater crop production on the unit of area.
They can harm you by getting the chemicals in the fertilizers into your body. The fertilizer does this by they chemicals in it get into the ground and if you have a well; they water still has a little bit of chemicals in it. If you don't have a well, you still might want to be careful. I'm not sure if this is right but I'm pretty sure this answer is a lot better than most people would put. My mom is doing a research project about chemical and organic fertilizers so I'm am learning a lot from her and she is learning a lot from me. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
Use of chemical fertilizers is not very harmful and displays side-effects after long term use.
Most of the common chemical fertilizers are useful and increase the productivity of soil
but using them continuously decreases the natural fertility of the soil.
Synthetic fertilizers can contribute, if they are used not correct, to the pollution of waters. But be sure that the so-called natural fertilizers (from excrements) have the same effects.
Chemical fertilizers are used to increase agricultural production; they are harmful only if they are used inappropriately.
The principal elements in fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
The use of chemical fertilizers is harmful only if they are used unreasonable.

Chemical fertilizers can pollute the water supply. Their use helps to produce more crops but their quantities have to be carefully controlled.

phosphorus
They breathe in the chemical water to get oxygen.
Fertilizers and pesticides are chemical products.
Well, chemicals can harm you if you eat your plants, it can seep into ground water and contaminate drinking water, and can, if you use too much, kill plants.

Use only the amount recommended.

Fertilizers are only good for plants if a suitable amount of them are given. Too much fertilizers are harmful too plants too!
Chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth; but if the concentration is too high, they may damage roots. What precautions concerning chemical fertilizers must a gardener take?
By Throwing Garbages and Harmful Gases and Harmful Chemicals and last FERTILIZERS!
Old fertilizers that have been frozen and thawed several times have probably decomposed. Depending on the fertilizer, some can be harmful to plants once they have broken down. It is best to use new fertilizers.
chemical fertilizers which contain macro-elements are most effective in plant growth like nitrate phosphorus and potassium, micro-elements are also necessary. its better to use organic fertilizers like manure.
