Abstract

The  paper  presents  a critical appraisal  of the  environmental pollution  problems  arising  due to the  production and  use  of  nitrogenous   and  phosphatic fertilizers.  The  paper  also  highlights their   impact   on   various   components  of   environment  and   role   of   environmental   impact  assessment in sustainable fertilizer and agricultural development.
