According to EuroChem, the occasional increase of phosphorus concentration is caused by the rising levels of surface water during flood periods.
“We have stopped runoff of phosphorus-containing surface waters to the river by constructing a system of dams and storing surface water in natural reservoirs and ponds within close proximity to the factory area.
