Gotta say I was most amused when it was mentioned that the queen had called the prince re Ray Chandler BY TELEPHONE!
And it was in that very secure and personal phone call (which absolutely noone was listening to) that the prince denied any involvement, and which the Queen accepted his denial. THAT was amusing.
Not an engineer ot chemist but when you mentioned the use of ammonia in that area, you can clearly see they have a runoff polution problem.
It could be due to the use of ammonia in that area. But the area is obviously polluted in 2d and 3d.
Ammonia runoff is harmful to some sea orgsnisms and that beach looks very unhealthy as an ocean environment.
See attached.
When they say nitrogen, think ammonia.
Nitrogen at higher levels causes a loss of certain plant species, depletion of soil nutrients, death of fish and aquatic organisms, and contamination of drinking water.

Was just going to post this I neglected to get in my last post:
“Ammonium (NH4+) bonds to negatively charged surfaces of soil particles - clay in particular. The concentration of ammonium in the soil is generally quite low (<1 mg/kg), because it is quickly converted to nitrate under conditions that are favourable for mineralization. The exception is where high rates of an ammonium fertilizer (anhydrous ammonia, urea or ammonium sulphate) or high rates of manure are applied. Occasionally, heavy rainfall washes this concentrated ammonium from the field into surface water. A small part of this ammonium can be converted to dissolved un-ionized ammonia (NH3), which can harm fish. The conditions that favour ammonia generation are alkaline pH and warm water temperatures.“

Sorry phonefagging this.
Sorry keep messing up. This was ftom one of those articles I posted.
Not arguing but I really wanted to post this at the start:
“Algae Growth-
When nitrogen levels in rivers and streams increase, they aid in algae overgrowth. As algae dies and decomposes, organic matter in the water increases. This process uses up oxygen, causing levels to drop. Without the oxygen, fish, crabs and other aquatic life die. In the San Francisco Bay Delta, for example, blue-green algae blooms occur in numbers during the warmer months, especially when the conditions such as increased nitrogen occur, according to the California Department of Health. Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution say these algae blooms, which can appear in different colors, produce toxins that can be harmful.”
Sorry don’t know a/c or power plant stuff and I was reading all of your posts showing great knowledge and am in awe.
And knowing that I threw myself into the conversation. May I ask a question? Once the ammonia is in the self contained system, does it ever have to be replenished? ie would they have to keep any stored near the power plant atea?
Can I add 3 who are not looking at the show or the Clintons during the announcement?
