40 Percent of all U.S. lakes have “excessive” levels of phosphorus, according to a national lakes survey. Nutrients, including nitrogen, are the biggest burden on lakes. Though levels are low, there was a notable increase in the prevalence of microcystin, an algal toxin. This is the second national survey and reflects data collected from more than 1,000 lakes in the summer of 2012. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
What would our Technology do to the main cause of Algae Blooms, phosphorus, organic nitrogen and ammonium? Although we had no Lab Equipment to tell the exact results, we ran a sampling of Fertilizers high in Phosphorous and noticed a change in the color of the sample with each test. We knew we were changing phosphorus, organic nitrogen and ammonium in some way, but didn’t know how! Our next test confirmed we were correct.
