U.S. Importing Phosphorus to Protect Its Own Resources
The U.S was rich in phosphorus ore, and it once was the largest producer of phosphorus ore . However, phosphorus is a non-renewable resource. In the aim to protect its resources, the U.S has limited the export and exploitation of phosphorus ore since 1980s. In recent years, its production has been less than that of China and begun to export phosphorus ore from Morocco.
Guangzhou, Guangdong -- (SBWire) -- 04/25/2011 -- Environmentalists have been warning for the past two years that global phosphorus stocks are being depleted very dangerously fast.
In Dec. 2010, Michigan has announced to ban lawn fertilizers containing phosphorus, which in large amounts can cause algae blooms in waterways from Jan. 1, 2012. Farms, golf courses, new lawns and homes whose owners can prove through soil tests that their lawns needed phosphorus are excluded. Actually, many of the states local governments have already prohibited fertilizes with phosphorus.
Phosphorus overloading is a concern in the US because algae blooms can rob the water of oxygen. Many manufacturers in US have dropped phosphorus from dishwasher detergents.
