[...]Beside other elements, phosphorus is essentially required for cell building and is mainly mined outside Europe. Our phosphorus resources are limited. Their price will therefore rise significantly in the future. Phosphorus is a main component of fertilisers and ends up in our food chain either directly via plants or indirectly via animal products. In the human organism phosphorus, as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), has the role of the energy supplier for our cells. About 2 g phosphorus per capita are flushed down the toilet every day. The phosphorus compounds contained within wastewater are [...]
