Does noise pollution affect plant growth?

Does human sewage discharge pollution affect plant growth?

  • Answer:

    Sewage is a rich source of nitrogen and phosphorus which facilitates plant growth. As "night soil" sewage is a historic fertilizer in much of the third world. In urban areas sewage is often contaminated with heavy metals (lead, chrome, zinc) and may impact plant growth. In water sewage encourages algal growth leading to eutrophication and algal blooms which in turn deplete oxygen levels causing fish kills.
