A new sponge-like material, developed by a UK scientist, is effectively absorbing excess phosphates from polluted waterways.
This innovative solution tackles the damaging effects of phosphate runoff, which harms aquatic life and depletes vital resources.
The invention, called PRM, transfers absorbed phosphates to farmland, acting as a natural fertilizer and reducing the need for mined phosphates.
This eco-friendly approach promises to mitigate the growing crisis of ‘phosphogeddon’ and ensure a sustainable future for agriculture.
