| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses efforts to ban phosphorous in Florida. States that "along with Sarasota and Lee counties, Martin county has been considering banning phosphorus from fertilizers because the chemicals can lead to algae blooms in local waterways." Explains that "because of the counties' move toward a ban - and a partial ban on phosphorus fertilizers in the village of Wellington [Florida] - the Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services want to prevent more piecemeal ordinances...A sweeping regulation would better address the problem and make it easier for fertilizer manufacturers to deliver a product specially made for Florida." Mentions that "fertilizers...sold in local home improvement stores contain anything from zero to 16 percent phosphorus. The exact amount is the second of the three prominent numbers found on all fertilizer bags." |
