Nitrogen emerges as the latest climate-change threat - McClatchy Washington Bureau 09/12/2008 1 Citation On the other hand, reactive nitrogen has many negative effects. Its compounds create smog, cause cancer and respiratory disease, and befoul rivers, lakes and coastal waters. They create "dead zones" in the ocean, corrode roads and bridges, weaken the ozone shield and add another greenhouse gas to the already overburdened atmosphere.
Experts say the most pressing need is to increase the availability of nitrogen fertilizer in poor countries and reduce its inefficient and wasteful use in U.S. factories and farms.
"Too much nitrogen is carried off of farmers' fields by rain and irrigation, spewed out of automobiles and factories into the air, and leached from septic tanks and sewage treatment facilities into rivers and groundwater," said Eric Davidson, a nitrogen expert at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts., delicious.com

EPA Called A 'Negative Factor' in Bay Cleanup - washingtonpost 12-30-08 1 Citation "They have been undercut by the EPA, which has been worse than missing in action," Baker said. "They have been a negative factor. They have not been enforcing the Clean Water Act. They have relaxed restrictions on air pollution, specifically on coal-fired power plants, and they've cut back on funding to states for things like sewage treatment plant improvements, and that's the low-hanging fruit when it comes to pollution."
The Washington Post reported over the weekend that government administrators of bay cleanup efforts tried to conceal for years that their efforts were failing, to maintain a continued flow of federal and state money for the project., delicious.com
