Originální abstrakt

The presentation deals with major issues about phosphorus. It has a concentration in the Earth’s crust of about 1 g/kg and is the 11th most common element. However, it is not found free in nature but is widely distributed in many minerals. There is a danger that we may soon face a critical phosphorus deficiency. Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant and animal growth. It also can increase the biological productivity of surface waters by accelerating eutrophication. But too much phosphorus can cause increased growth of algae and large aquatic plants, which can result in decreased levels of dissolved oxygen – a process called eutrophication. High levels of phosphorus can also lead to algae blooms that produce algal toxins, which can be harmful to human and animal health.
