But research on nitrate during the past decade has revealed wide discrepancies between public perceptions and reality. The main problems from nitrate are in fact ecological changes in coastal and estuarine waters and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. This gas, largely derived from nitrate, is a threat to the ozone layer in the stratosphere and is also a greenhouse gas. This book builds on Farming, Fertilizers, and the Nitrate Problem (CABI, 1991) by 606 $aNitrogen fertilizers$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aNitrogen fertilizers 615 0$aNitrogen fertilizers$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aNitrogen fertilizers. 676 $a631.8/4 700 $aAddiscott$b T.
