lenor un stoppables. how can these be allowed?

[dpearce4]

How can a company sell a product that states on the back it is long term dangerous to aquatic life to be put in a washing machine.

This then goes into the water course. Is it me or should they even be allowed to sell something like thus?

Not good if your washing machine or other sewerage drains directly into a river/stream, is that very common these days.

Where Does it All Go?

I have worked on a lot of **** farms overs the years or sewerage farms for the owld grumps.. lol , the stuff from most house hold waste goes into big storage vessels and is processed in various stages until it is safe to go into the water coarse, hoever folk who have septic tanks need to read the label to make sure it is safe to use on septic tanks, it will be 100% safe however if its going through a **** farm.

Why would anyone want to use them anyway? (my favourite smilie tonight )

Because people believe the hype and think that it will make them smell nice and fresh.

Just like the new style adverts for detox and stuff working on peoples anxieties. But just bringing on more and more allergies.

I think anyone who is daft enough to use 'Biological' washing powder should have their legs slapped - bad for their clothes, bad for their skin and terrrible for the environment.

Agree

And I suppose non biological washing powder, bleach, and soda crystals have no effect on the environment.

less of an impact than non bio

That's a matter of what you're referring to - the effluent etc. - the 'sludge' we consider as polluting in sewage may have gone, but any chemicals in that water, detergents,nitrates/phosphates, neonicotinoids and female hormones (from all the young girlies taking magic smarties) are still in that 'safe' water.
I remember the river Loughor fish kill in the mid 1990's caused by the high nitrate and phosphate levels causing a massive surge in summer weed growth which in consequence led to nightly oxygen starvation. also the algae problems the river Towy still has due to sewage treatment farms 'safe' run off.
And as for hormones - slowly and steadily the virility of male fish is getting lower and lower.

Good job you've got mountain streams

Its part of the blue green algae problem.

You'd be amazed how many washing machine waste pipes are connected to rainwater systems
