Resumen de Phosphorus: A Looming Crisis.
This article discusses the potential impact that the depletion of known phosphorus mining reserves on agriculture in the U.S. and around the world. The possibility that the recycling of phosphorous from human and animal waste, which plays a central role in concentrations of cyanobacterial blooms when disposed in water, can help to mitigate this shortage is considered. The technological and logistical challenges of recovering phosphorus from human and animal waste are assessed.
