Severe hurricanes with higher frequencies could potentially cripple the tourism industry, with major impacts on associated industries that make up more than a third of Florida's economy. When these projections of higher sea levels, more frequent intense hurricanes, and increased property values at risk are brought together in an …
The Destruction of Nauru. Most of the phosphate in Nauru has been extracted through strip mining, which is the removal of large layers of earth in order to reach the minerals underneath. This practice leaves the earth largely barren, infertile, and unable to sustain plant life. Currently, about 90% of the island is covered in jagged and exposed ...

Characterisation of phosphorus industry and its assessment according to sustainable development rules and circular economy was presented. Non-renewable sources of raw materials, energy consumption and environmental impact was discussed. Examples of recognised solutions divided to groups of strategies were analysed: feedstock flow …
Phosphorus, the 11th most abundant element in the earth's crust, is a pivotal macronutrient in providing the energy needed for plant growth. By consuming plants as food, humans and animals can access phosphorus that would be biounavailable in the soil without the work of plants. Interestingly, while humans and animals need …
Environmental impact of phosphorus industry in China. China is the largest PR-producing country in the world (USGS 2021), and approximately 70% of the PR mined in China is used for PF production (Shang et al. 2021). PR mining, but particularly, later compound fertilizer production is energy-intensive.
Tunisia's phosphate industry has long been an important part of the country's economy. The sector contributes significantly to state revenues, representing around 4 percent of GDP and 15 percent of exports. The biggest historical use of phosphate has been as an ingredient in agricultural fertilizers. In 2008, Tunisia was the …
In addition to phosphorus in fertilizers, the phosphorus extant in waste produced by phosphate rock mining, a major phosphorus source for industry, also contributes to the contamination of ...
Amid this effort to expand domestic sources, some researchers assert that Florida's phosphate deposits, mined by the fertilizer industry for over a century, could have a second life as a major supplier of rare-earth minerals. "We could satisfy nearly 50% of the U.S. demand for many of the critical rare earth elements from Florida," said ...
Morocco's phosphorus fertilizer industry, with its massive production capacity and international reach, has transformed the kingdom into a gatekeeper of global food supply chains. Morocco's centrality to global food security rests with the fact that all food crops, indeed all plant life, require the element phosphorus to grow and Morocco …
Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are indispensable macronutrients that help plants grow and are important ingredients for making synthetic fertilizers. Due to unsustainable management of these nutrients, there are devastating effects when they seep into lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Sustainable phosphorus management requires further innovation ...
We find that on a yearly basis, 18.9 million metric tons (MMT) of P is produced, of which close to 75% goes to fertilizer and the rest to industrial and others uses. Phosphoric acid is the precursor for many of the intermediate and end uses of phosphate compounds described in this study and accounts for almost 80% of all P consumed.
Various physical characteristics of the related phosphorus fluxes as well as their environmental impacts in different economies, including the United States, European countries, and China, are examined. Particular attention is given to the global phosphorus budget in cropland and the movement and transformation of phosphorus in soil, …
Recovering phosphorus from wastewater in more concentrated forms has potential to sustainably recirculate phosphorus from cities to agriculture. The environmental sustainability of wastewater-based phosphorus recovery processes or wastewater-derived phosphorus products can be evaluated using life cycle assessment …
