specifically what elements are found in the runoff that causes the algae blooms?mercury and ammoniaphosphorus and nitrogenprotein and fatoxygen and carbonrewatch
Algae blooms are driven by nutrient runoff that fuels rapid algal growth. Phosphorus and nitrogen are key limiting nutrients for algae; excess amounts from sources like fertilizer runoff trigger these blooms. The other options either contain toxic non-nutrient elements, organic compounds not in elemental form, or elements abundant in water/air that don't limit algal growth.
