Pro Tip 1/3Fertilizer Use
Phosphate enhances plant growth, hence its use in agriculture.
The garden's vibrant blooms are thanks to the phosphate-rich fertilizer.
Pro Tip 2/3Common Presence
Phosphate is widely found in everyday items beyond fertilizer.
Phosphate additives improve shelf-life in some processed foods.
Pro Tip 3/3Environmental Concern
Excessive use can pollute, making environmental impacts a discussion point.
The lake's algal bloom was linked to phosphate runoff from farms.

Mussels and other bivalves do tremendous amounts of water filtration. A single mussel can filter dozens of gallons every single day. And this is incredibly important when we look at the world. Right now, nitrification, overuse of phosphates in our waterways are causing tremendous algal blooms.
