Answer
Fertilizer hazards include environmental pollution through nutrient runoff causing water eutrophication, soil degradation from reduced organic matter and beneficial microorganisms, groundwater contamination with nitrates affecting drinking water quality, health risks from chemical residues in food, economic burden on farmers due to increasing costs, and disruption of soil nutrient balance leading to micronutrient deficiencies. Excessive fertilizer use can also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly nitrous oxide, which contributes to climate change
