Phosphate-free detergent
Phosphate-free Detergent:PHOSPHATE IN DETERGENT
helped to remove food and grease,
reduce spotting and filming,
control water hardness
suspend the bits of food so they were not redistributed
on your dishes.
PROBLEM:
Phosphate supports the growth of plants, including algae.
excessive amounts of algae can develop
This may lead to undesirable water quality
reductions in aquatic life
poor taste and odors in drinking water.

IMPACTS:

Less potent detergent
Harder to clean and remove dirt and stains
More effort is needed and exerted by consumer to clean materials
New ways developed by consumer to effectively clean materials
dissatisfaction some consumers have experienced
re-washing and re-rinsing dishes to remove the white, filmy residue these products are leaving behind

IMPACTS:
Causes to leave dirt and impurities behind that could cause contamination of food in some cases
phosphate food additives have been shown to stimulate lung cancer development
High phosphate content in processed foods can also affect renal and cardiovascular function (Grey, 2013)
Reduction in symptoms, such as rashes, dizziness, and scratchy throats, once they started using phosphate-free cleaning products

IMPACTS:
For food, phosphates are monitored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
For other uses, such as cleaning products, they are monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
laws or regulations were enacted in many U.S. states, the European Union, Canada, and in Japan to limit or ban the use of phosphates in laundry detergents.
dishwashing detergents can only contain anywhere from 4-8% phosphorus

IMPACTS:
northwestern states (among the first to enact phosphate bans) of consumers driving across state lines just to stock up on the phosphate versions of their favorite brands
Phosphate-free brands are not appealing to some consumers
Banning leaves no choice
High amount of energy and water used by country just for cleaning
Water-deprived countries are affected
Investment on phosphate-free technologies
