Environmental fate
Inorganic compounds in contact with the soil, sub-surface or surface waters may be taken up by
plants and utilized as essential nutrients. Phosphates may also form precipitates, usually with
calcium or magnesium. The resultant compounds are insoluble in water and become a part of the
soil or sediment. The term biodegradability, as such, is not applicable to inorganic compounds.
