The scientists studied Lake Chaohu sediments to see how much nitrogen and phosphorus were there and if it was polluting the lake. They found that the top layer of sediment had more nitrogen than the bottom layer, and the western part of the lake had the most pollution. Overall, the lake is at risk from too many nutrients in the sediment.
