Blue Baby Syndrome-caused by nitrate contamination in groundwater resulting in decreased oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin in babies leading to death.

Testing water for nutrient levels can also be done at home using a freshwater testing kit that is available in some store. This kit shows the nitrate and other nutrient levels by changing the color of the water and comparing it to a scale.

A major effect of years of nutrient pollution can be found about 10 hours away, in the Chesapeake Bay. One of Maryland's biggest areas for profit has been severely affected by the nutrient pollution.

Without proper disposal, phosphate enhanced detergents and soaps can lead to nutrient pollution

Nitrate in drinking water-The maximum amount of nitrate in drinking water, is 10 mg/L (as nitrogen)
phosphorus levels-(Into streams that do not discharge directly into lakes or ponds)  should not exceed 0.1 mg/L
phosphorus levels-(In a stream at a point where it enters a lake or pond) should not exceed 0.05 mg/L
Ammonia levels- (In most natural surface waters) no greater than about 2 mg/L
Ammonia levels-(Inalkaline water at high temperature)  total ammonia concentrations has to be less than 0.1 mg/L

Agriculture- Soil erosion caused by the clearing of land and an increase in the use of fertilizer makes agriculture a huge source for nutrient pollution
Storm Water and Waste Water- Precipitation runoff drags excess nutrients with it when it return back into a body of water and sewage systems leaking and large sewage cleaning plants don't always regulate the water they send back out into streams which can allow extra nutrients to get into water supplies as well
At Home- Certain home detergents, cleaning items, and other chemicals can add to nutrient pollution when they are not disposed of properly. The figure below shows a few home items that can potentially be harmful to the environment

Nutrient Pollution can be in any water source, including ground water, or even drinking water. Even at low levels, the excess nutrients pose a threat to health. Nitrogen can produce ammonia, ozone and other harmful pollutants.

Algae- A simple, non-flowering aquatic plant that flourishes in water with excess nitrogen and phosphorus
Algal Bloom- A sudden rapid increase of the population of algae in a body of fresh water.
Ecosystem- A biological community of organisms interacting with their physical environment.
Eutrophication- Excessive richness of nutrients in a body of water.
Nitrogen- The most abundant element in the atmosphere, key contributor to nutrient pollution.
Phosphorus- A poisonous, non-combustible element, a key contributor to nutrient pollution.
Soil Erosion- The wearing away of topsoil by the natural physical forces of water.
Runoff-the draining away of water from the surface of an area.
Agricultural-the practice or science of farming
Ammonia-It dissolves in water to give a strongly alkaline solution.
Phosphorus-A common constituent of agricultural fertilizers, manure, and organic wastes in sewage and industrial effluent. It is essential element for plant life but too much can be harmful.

Nutrient Pollution is the process in which too many nutrients are added to bodies of water The nutrients can act like a fertilizer and cause excessive growth of algae and other aquatic vegetation. The main nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus.
