   What happens if you put too much nitrogen in water?

   • Excess nitrogen can harm water bodies Excess nitrogen can cause overstimulation of growth of aquatic plants and algae. Excessive growth of these organisms, in turn, can clog water intakes, use up dissolved oxygen as they decompose, and block light to deeper waters.

   What happens if we eat too much nitrogen?

   • Excess nitrogen in the atmosphere can produce pollutants such as ammonia and ozone, which can impair our ability to breathe, limit visibility and alter plant growth. When excess nitrogen comes back to earth from the atmosphere, it can harm the health of forests, soils and waterways.

   How does nitrogen affect water quality?

   • Measurement approaches include sensors and other tools and evaluating soil microbes. Cassman explained that because nitrogen drives the biomass creation, producing more food for growing populations means applying more nitrogen, risking further degradation of water quality.

   What happens if you put too much nitrate in water?

   • An algae bloom on Lake Le-Auqa-Na, Illinois. Too much nitrogen, as nitrate, in drinking water can be harmful to young infants or young livestock. Excessive nitrate can result in restriction of oxygen transport in the bloodstream. Infants under the age of 4 months lack the enzyme necessary to correct this condition ("blue baby syndrome").
