Nitrogen takes up oxogen in fresh bodies of water. If there is too much Nitrogen, it can kill a fresh body of water such as a pond. A sustainable amount of Nitrogen would be 1-100ppm (parts per million). Anything above 100ppm is unhealthy. Anything above 200ppm can destroy an entire ecosystem.

Industrial and domestic waste are sources of nutrients (e.g. phosphorus and nitrogen) and man-made chemicals (e.g. estrogen) that can enter ponds via runoff after rainfall, pipes or atmospheric deposition, etc. Ponds that are generally shallow can concentrate these chemicals that can lead to changes in their chemical and physical properties. Plants and animals that live in ponds will be affected as well as the water quality of ponds.
