Imagine you are a pollution inspector who is called out to inspect your location.
Write a one page report describing the pollution you might see locally in our Metro Atlantic area, describing the effects each is having on the local ecosystem.
Make some suggestions for controlling each type of pollution.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
