Pollution as a result of lawn fertilizer runoff would be difficult to track and regulate due to the possible breadth of the area affected. Toxins can be spread throughout the land area as well as be carried downstream if near a water source. Sewer systems, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. can all be negatively affected by lawn fertilizer runoff. Irrigation or rain water can carry toxins for many miles before the effects are detected. Tracing the source of the toxins would be difficult, especially in a highly populated area.
The Rate of formation of products depends on the concentration of reactants or the forward reaction increases on increasing the rate of the concentration.
There is no effect on the equilibrium rate when the concentration of reactants and products is constant.
Forward reaction slows down when the reactant concentration is decreased.
On increasing the amount or concentration of reactant the chemical equilibrium shifts towards formation of more products.
