The nutrients in domestic wastewaters as well as those from fertilizers used on cultivated fields encourage the growth of large populations of algae and other aquatic organisms in the receiving waters. This enrichment, called "eutrophication," may interfere with the normal ecological balance of the receiving waters. 3, record 1, English, - eutrophication

The Protocol sets national emission ceilings for 2010 up to 2020 for four pollutants: sulphur (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ammonia (NH3). It thus builds on the previous Protocols that addressed sulphur emissions (1985 Protocol; 1994 Protocol), VOCs and NOx. 1, record 2, English, - 1999%20Protocol%20to%20Abate%20Acidification%2C%20Eutrophication%20and%20Ground%2Dlevel%20Ozone%20to%20the%20Convention%20on%20Long%2Drange%20Transboundary%20Air%20Pollution
