Companion Canine Nutrient Contributions to Kentucky's Urban Environment
Abstract
Eutrophication is a significant environmental issue affecting creeks, streams, and lakes, and excess nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), play a crucial role in its development. Microbial growth due to excess nutrients in the environment can be devastating to aquatic life and water resources. When eutrophication occurs, excess nutrients in fresh water can cause algal blooms, some of which are toxic to humans and pets.
