EPA's pollution maps pinpoint areas for fertiliser action 05 May 2021 Free


TheEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designed “pollution impact potential maps” for phosphorus and nitrogen.
Across the country, 1,007 waterbodies are affected by excess phosphorus (P), while 535 are impacted by excess nitrogen (N), including 18 drinking water supplies.
Some 2,400km or under 2% of river banks have been identified as needing pathway interception measures for P.
Some 6,900km2 of highest-risk critical source areas were also outlined where nitrate losses from farms are highest in the south and southeast.
Key to preventing loss, according to Jenny Deakin of the EPA, who was speaking at a Teagasc Signpost Series webinar, is using “the right measure in the right place” and these maps will help to target zones vulnerable to loss.
