Nitrogen compounds aquatic systems

Loss of nitrogen compounds from soils is also a major pathway into the atmosphere for some compounds (e.g., N2O, NO, and NH3). As in the aquatic systems, parameters that play an important role in this process include the nature of the compound soil temperature, water content, pH, aeration of the soil and a concentration gradient of the gas in question. 

Careful control should be exercised with treated effluents to ensure that the presence of aquatic organisms, nitrogen compounds, and phosphates do not initiate algal blooms, sludge, or other fouling problems in the cooling system. 

Volatilization of gaseous nitrogen compounds from soils can represent a major pathway into the atmosphere. As in the aquatic systems, parameters...
