Humic substances - you've probably never heard of them.

But...

You'll be glad to know they're being fully researched on your behalf, so you need not worry
Quoted Text
New research is to be done on some of Scotland's lochs.

The PhD project aims to improve scientists' understanding of the relationship between what are known as humic substances (HS) and phosphorus.

HS is natural matter washed into water from nearby soils, while phosphorus is an important nutrient.

An estimated 61% of Scotland's lochs have water coloured by HS, according to the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences.

It said the relationship between HS and phosphorus was "complex and poorly understood".
