ammonia and chemicals grouped under the term "Volatile Organic Compounds" as the
quantities. They are rinsed down drains and flushed down toilets as families clean the
house. Most pollutants are removed from the water by the waste treatment facilities
before the water is returned to the rivers, streams, lakes and other waterways. However,
those three household cleaning chemicals are not removed by waste treatment processes.
Instead, they enter the waterways and build up, causing an accelerated growth of some
Ammonia, nitrogen and phosphorus are all fertilizers used in agriculture to help
plants grow in controlled environments on farms. When those same chemicals enter a
freshwater environment as residues of household cleaning, their levels are not controlled.
The result is excessive nourishment of some types of plant life in habitats native to
aquatic animals. This can lead to dense vegetation that clogs waterways, crowding out
animal life and other marine plants. At the end of these plants' chemical-accelerated life
cycle, they die in large masses, decaying and depleting the oxygen in the water. Algae
then grows, and the animals – freshwater shellfish, fish and others – die off as well; the
die-offs cause more decay. Soon, the water is no longer suitable for drinking, cooking or
bathing.
VOCs can cause health hazards by concentrating inside the household air, and
when windows are raised to ventilate while cleaning, the problem goes outdoors.
According to the EPA, VOCs contribute to smog, and the pollution is so severe in some
areas that legislation to ban or restrict the amount of VOCs in household cleaners became
necessary.

phosphate
enhances the cleaning power of the detergents, which is very helpful in spiking its
popularity and while marketing. However, it causes health problems and major
environmental hazards. Phosphate residues on dish surface may cause nausea, diarrhea
and skin irritations. Phosphates are still active after waste water treatment. When they
enter waterways, they act as fertilizers and encourage overgrowth of algae, which leads to
drastic reduction of oxygen in water. This results in the depletion of other living
