aiThis book starts with depiction of the phosphorus role in life
creation and evolution. Then it outlines in which vital processes
different phosphates participate in life of all flora and fauna,
from DNA molecules till body tissues. Crucial function of
phosphates was noticed long ago, but only in XIX century discovery
of mineral fertilizers made it possible to sustain the needs of
growing global population, thus initiating a green revolution.
Though, for many decades after it, the complexity of interactions
fertilizer-soil-plant roots was underrated, causing massive
damages, such as soil destruction and eutrophication of waters.
Still, mining of exhausting natural phosphate reserves continued
worldwide. Lessons of what happened in XIX century due to scarcity
of phosphates were ignored. In the meantime, production of
phosphates reached its peak few years ago. Immediate implementation
of phosphate recycling technologies from municipal wastes can help
avoid imminent global disaster.ai
