Effect of eutrophication of environment on transformation and leaching of nitrogen from soil to water
KOFROŇOVÁ, Iveta
The master thesis lists the basic effects of nitrogen transformation in soil (nitrification), subsequent leaching of nitrates from soil to water and the effects of eutrophication of aquatic environment on the human health. The results of this experiment show that the interaction of all three factors (fertilization, soil moisture, vegetation) has a significant effect on the rate of nitrification. Generally, the nitrification rate increases with fertilization, decreases with presence of vegetation and decreases with soil moisture decrease. The health risk of nitrates in water consists in their consumption and the subsequent development of methemoglobinemia (especially in young infants) and the formation of N-nitroso compounds (e.g.nitrosamines), which have carcinogenic and teratogenic effects. Nitrate together with phosphates also promote the growth of cyanobacteria and algae. Cyanobacteria can produce cyanotoxins causing several groups of diseases.
