Phosphates: Certain chemical compounds containing phosphorus.
Phosphogypsum Piles (Stacks): Principal byproduct generated in production of phosphoric acid from phosphate rock. These piles may generate radioactive radon gas.
phosphates Certain chemical compounds containing phosphorus.
phosphorous An element that, while essential to life, contributes to the eutrophication of lakes and other bodies of water.
Phosphates - Certain chemical compounds containing phosphorus.
Phosphorus - An essential chemical food element that can contribute to the eutrophication of lakes and other water bodies.
Phosphates: Alkaline builders used in detergents to soften water.
Phytotoxic: Something that harms plants.
PICs: Products of incomplete combustion. All particles and gases that are emitted from an object at the time it is burning.
orthophosphate
an acid or salt containing phosphorus as PO4, such as K3PO4 (potassium phosphate).
oxidant ...
Organophosphate
A group of organic (carbon-containing) insecticides that also contain phosphorus. Although they do not have a long life, some can be very toxic when first applied. Malathion and Parathion are organophosphates.
The phosphate anion reversibly attached to the surface of the solid phase of the soil in such form that it may go into solution by anionic equilibrium reactions with isotopes of phosphorus or with other anions of the liquid phase without solution of ...
such as phosphate. Sequestration prevents the precipitation
of the metals (iron). Also see chelation.
service line sample. A one-liter sample of water collected 'm ...
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - An organic, phosphate-rich compound important in the transfer of energy in organisms. Its central role in living cells makes it an excellent indicator of the presence of living material in water.
orthophosphate inorganic phosphate
osmosis. the movement (diffusion) of a liquid through a semipermeable membrane such as living tissue.
Phosphates Phosphates are a family of chemicals used for special glasses, sodium lamps, in steel production, in military applications, pyrotechnics, pesticides, toothpaste and detergents.
Carbon (C) 3 plants Those in which the assimilation of atmospheric carbon dioxide is directly via the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase in the cells of the leaf mesophyll.
Perhaps the most worrisome of these pollutants, phosphates, can cause large build-ups of algae and bacteria that rob water bodies of oxygen and thus choke out other life forms.
The forms include nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, organic nitrogen (in the form of plant material or other organic compounds), and phosphates (orthophosphate and others).
Sandstorms blowing west off Africa take phosphate out towards the Atlantic Ocean and even as far as South America. This phosphate may be an important source of phosphorus in phosphorus-limited biomes. [U. Brunner and R.
Material which enhances or maintains the cleaning efficiency of a surfactant, in a detergent, principally by inactivating water hardness; complex phosphates (especially sodium tripolyphosphate, i.e. pentasodium triphosphate), sodium carbonate, ...
2 grams K2HPO4 (dibasic potassium phosphate)
1 gram NaH2PO4 (monobasic sodium phosphate)
2 grams (NH4)3PO4 (ammonium phosphate)
3. After salts are dissolved, bring the volume to 1000 milliliters with distilled water.
Photophosphorylation The synthesis of the energy storage compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) using solar energy.
Phototroph Organisms which obtain energy from light using photooxidation.
The actual step which fixes a CO2 molecule is catalyzed by the enzyme ribulose bis-phosphate (RuBP) carboxylase. RuBP is a 5 carbon sugar which when it is combined with a CO2 molecule produces two new 3 carbon molecules.
This capacity is caused by the water's content of carbonate, bicarbonate, hydroxide and occasionally borate, silicate, and phosphate. Alkalinity is expressed in milligrams per liter of equivalent calcium carbonate.
Nitrilotriacetic Acid (NTA): A compound now replacing phosphates in detergents.
Nitrite: 1. An intermediate in the process of nitrification. 2. Nitrous oxide salts used in food preservation.
A compound now replacing phosphates in detergents.

Eutrophication is the enrichment of aquatic environments with high levels of dissolved plant nutrients, such as nitrate and phosphate ions, leading to high algal growth. It is a natural process that can be exacerbated by human activity e.g.
Eutrophic: Having a large or excessive supply of plant nutrients (nitrates and phosphates). Compare oligotrophic.
The total phosphorous content of all material that will pass through a filter, which is determined as orthophosphate without prior digestion or hydrolysis. Also called soluble P. or ortho P.
Total Dissolved Solids ...
Total Dissolved Phosphorous- The total phosphorous content of all material that will pass through a filter, which is determined as orthophosphate without prior digestion or hydrolysis. Also called soluble P. or ortho P.
A compound now replacing phosphates in detergents.
Nitrite
An intermediate in the process of nitrification. 2.
Sequestration: The inhibition or stoppage of normal ion behavior by combination with added materials, especially the prevention of metallic ion precipitation from solution by formation of a coordination complex with a phosphate.
