It's used in a variety of industries, but mostly as an important (and very much abused) agricultural fertilizer. It appears that as a result of the consumption of phosporus for agriculture over the last 100 years or so, the world is heading for a supply crunch. According to Associate Professor Cynthia Mitchell from the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, the world's deposits of phosphorus will be depleted in about 50 years. The solution - our pee! It seems that we excrete around a hundred gallons of the stuff each per year and it's one of the most concentrated sources of phosphorus.
