What are nutrients?• Nutrients are chemical elements that all living organisms

need to grow.

Effects of Nutrient Pollution• When too many nutrients, mainly nitrogen and

phosphorus, are added to water, they can act like fertilizer, causing excessive growth of algae - eutrophication.

• Excessive nitrogen and phosphorus in water can:– cause health problems, – damage the environment and – impact the economy.

Major sources of nutrients in Irish catchments:Runoff of fertilizers, animal manure, sewage treatment plant discharges, storm water runoff, car and power plant emissions, and failing septic tanks. • Point sources: all pollutant sources with end-of-pipe control• Non-point sources: Diffuse sources of nutrients
