Phosphate pollution is a condition where there is too much phosphorus in lakes and streams, as a result from poor timing on fertilizer application. In some cases, phosphorus can leach from grass clippings to create the same effect. When too much phosphorus enters lakes and streams, it can cause algae blooms. Algae blooms block sunlight from reaching the fish and other aquatic plants, and the aquatic life dies.

How does phosphate pollution connect with science?
science is the practice of observation of phenomena. phosphates are foodstuff for many categories of living things. pollution is the overproduction of substances, commodities etc. overfeeding certain populations in a previously balanced ecology will result in an unbalanced ecology, i.e. certain populations wil overgrow and become a pest. From thence the negative connotation associated with the word pollution.
