[edit] Threat: Agricultural & Forestry Effluents

[edit] Definition

Water-borne pollutants from agricultural, silivicultural, and aquaculture systems that include nutrients, toxic chemicals and/or sediments including the effects of these pollutants on the site where they are applied. Examples include nutrient loading from fertilizer run-off, herbicide run-off, manure from feedlots, nutrients from aquaculture, and soil erosion.

Wind erosion of agricultural sediments or smoke from forest fires goes in Air-Borne Pollutants. (CMP)
