August 2010 - by Claire Williamson
Phosphorus is an important element for plant growth but is a pollutant when there is too much in water. North Carolina, similar to most states, is working to reduce the amount of phosphorus pollution in its waters.

The states choose to reduce phosphorus in turf fertilizers and dish detergent because phosphorus is unnecessarily used these two products and can be reduced.
