Total nitrogen, water, filtered, estimated by regression equation, milligrams per liter
Overview
Nitrogen is a nutrient necessary for growth and reproduction. Primary sources of nitrogen are fertilizers,
animal wastes, and degradation of plant material. However, excessive inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus
compounds to an aquatic environment can cause excessive algal growth resulting in eutrophication.
When algal blooms die, concentrations of dissolved oxygen are depleted, which can stress aquatic organisms
and may cause taste-and-odor problems in water supplies.
