Nitrogen pollution causes dead zones in oceans.

SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that nitrogen pollution causes dead zones in oceans?

Yes. The EPA and a peer-reviewed PLOS Biology article state that excess nitrogen/nutrient pollution causes dead zones in coastal and ocean waters. Other sources link nitrogen runoff to eutrophication and dead zones in specific water bodies such as the Gulf of Mexico and Chesapeake Bay.
