Hyperphosphatemia, i.e. abnormally high serum phosphate levels, may result from increased phosphate intake, decreased phosphate excretion, or a disorder that shifts intracellular phosphate to extracellular space.61 Hyperphosphatemia can occur with overdose of oral phosphate administration or random use of enemas containing phosphate. Other causes include hypocalcemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, crush injuries, nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis, systemic infections, and tumor lysis syndrome.56,57 However, hyperphosphatemia can be spurious in cases of hyperproteinemia, dyslipidemia, hemolysis, or hyperbilirubinemia. It may also lead to morbidity.56,57

Water pollution by nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus is considered as a serious environmental problem around the world. Dissolved nutrient species such as ammonium, nitrate and phosphates are important pollutants as they are involved in aquatic eutrophication, which is the abundance of aquatic plants, growth of algae, and depletion of dissolved oxygen [1]. The presence of nitrate ions in drinking water causes potential public health hazard including infant methemoglobinaemia or blue baby syndrome [2–4] and also results in the potential formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines and nitrosamides. Excess concentration of inorganic phosphate in the blood causes hyperphosphatemia. This condition is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally elevated level of phosphate in the blood. Often, calcium levels are lowered (hypocalcemia) due to precipitation of phosphate with the calcium in tissues [5–7]. The main sources of nitrate and phosphate release are agricultural over-application of fertilizers, aquaculture, agri-food industries, municipal wastewaters and detergent manufacturing [8].

ER can cause serious systemic conditions that can lead to acute and chronic injuries, ranging from an increase in sarcoplasmic proteins at the circulatory level to medical emergencies (Asserraji et al., 2014) that can affect the health of the athlete. Among the reported complications are hyperkalemia, hypernatremia, lactic acidosis and hyperphosphatemia, kidney tubule damage and subsequent acute kidney dysfunction (McCullough et al., 2013), muscle ischemia, cardiac arrhythmia and even death (Asserraji et al., 2014).
