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 HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production IMPACTS HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production IMPACTS: higher than normal phosphate levels can destroy the health of the lake maintains water quality Prevents excessive amounts of algae to develop More environment friendly Prevent contamination from municipal and domestic wastewater IMPACTS HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production IMPACTS: historically been one of the main ingredients, now not 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 HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production IMPACTS: HEALTH 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 HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production 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 HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production IMPACTS: higher fish and other aquatic organism populations in lakes Increased food production and source capacity Phosphate fertilizer run-off control measures developed Development of phosphate-substitute technologies Increased knowledge on effects of phosphate Environmental science, medicine, health, biology, ecology IMPACTS HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production 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 IMPACTS: related (directly or indirectly) HEALTH CONSUMER & CULTURE ECONOMY Phosphate-free Detergent SCIENCE TRADE & COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT POLICY Agriculture & food production Thank you
