1. The Savior of Freshwater Ecosystems
As the infographic points out, its biggest achievement is serving as a phosphate-free alternative to STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate) in commercial detergents.Back in the mid-to-late 20th century, laundry detergents were packed with phosphates because they are incredibly efficient at stripping minerals out of hard water.

→ Manger bio : « seule échappatoire face à un #empoisonnement de masse »
https://lareleveetlapeste.fr/manger-bio-seule-echappatoire-face-a-un-empoisonnement-de-masse/« Les #herbicides contiennent environ 3% de #déchets de raffineries pétrolières. […] [Elles] les revendent pour faire des #détergents, des #cosmétiques… et des #pesticides. […] Parmi ces déchets #toxiques : des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques, ces mêmes substances #cancérogènes qu’on surveille dans la #pollution de l’air […]. Sauf qu’ici, personne ne les surveille. »

@Beedazzled that’s crazy! “Their hypothesis is that #glyphosate is a transformation product from aminopolyphosphonates which are used extensively in Europe and especially in laundry #detergents”. Particularly interesting that “In contrast to #Europe, aminopolyphosphonates are hardly used in the U.S. in laundry detergents”, so why can’t the #EU change and by this I mean regulate detergents, not deregulate #herbicides! #Green #rivers #environment.

#idw A main source for #glyphosate in european rivers might not be #agriculture but households laundry, #Detergents #aminopolyphosphonates can transforme into that #herbicide. https://idw-online.de/en/news837503

Most glyphosate in European #rivers may not come from #herbicides application in #agriculture. For decades, the main source of #glyphosate has been municipal #wastewater and it may enter rivers as a transformation product from #detergents used in Europe: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3917957/v1

"Experts encourage using the cold cycle as much as possible. “The temperature that we’re #washing with is often way too warm,” Joyner Martinez says, adding that hot water settings are only really necessary for sanitizing. Modern #laundry #detergents, even those that aren’t marked for #cold-#water use, are typically formulated to clean just as well at lower temperatures."
