Some colleagues and I wrote a piece on the environmental history of nitrates for the iN-Net nitrates governance blog. Quite short but hopefully an interesting entry point into the topic for people!

Given sufficient electricity, we can make #Hydrogen in quantity without reforming Methane. The #Oxygen is a probably useful byproduct.
Given heat, pressure, and a catalyst, we can combine it with atmospheric #Nitrogen to make #Ammonia, a direct fertiliser, and starting point for Nitric acid and then #Nitrates. Among #AmmoniumNitrate 's uses is fertiliser for growng food.I think we might build an Ammonia plant next to a #fission boiler, and use #heat as well as perhaps #electricity from it.

All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛
#Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.
After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.
It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

New Map Shows Where Cancer-Causing Chemicals Are Polluting Water for Over 200M
The map focuses on arsenic, chromium-6, and nitrate -- all scientifically known to cause cancer and other health issues. -
The water plant is nearing capacity to remove nitrates, which is pushed both by higher nitrate levels & higher consumption. To avoid exceeding nitrate limits, starting today, Central Iowa Water Works has issued a total ban on lawn watering as a final act to avoid exceeding federal nitrate limits.

I remember BIll Stowe clashing with ag-lobbyists, where the lobbyists claimed they were doing exactly the right things to protect water in Iowa, and that further legislation and lawsuits were not necessary.
Now, in 2025, Central Iowans must curtail water usage, not because there isn't enough water, but because the source water is too contaminated with farm runoff nitrates.

On this #day 110 years ago; 23rd May 1913; the #British built three mast iron #sailing #barque, the SV #Cromdale, ran aground off the #Lizard Point (the most southerly point of British mainland) in thick #fog. The #ship was on a #voyage from #Taltal, #Chile to #Fowey, #Cornwall with a cargo of #nitrates. There were no casualties but within a week the #ship had been broken up completely by the sea.
