Phosphorus

is

an element which is a nutrient

for

algae.

Present

Eccieral

Lake

Michigan Include the control

and reduction

of phosphorus

In order

to limit the production of algae.

Algae

causes

supplies

and may

reduce

dissolved

oxygen in water.

Algae

is

a nuisance

to

swimmers

and can reduce the

The present

standards

for phosphorus

in the water

of Lake Michigan are
