INTERESTING FACTS -

Below are some very interesting facts relating to the harmful effects on
the environment caused by chemicals found in traditional cleansers.

1. According to the Groundwater Foundation in Lincoln, NE, improper
disposal of industrial chlorinated Hydrocarbons found in household chemicals constitute a major risk of groundwater. A major push for businesses to switch to non-chlorinated solvents is underway in various
communities across the country. Business owners can often obtain
educational materials, attend workshops, and receive technical assistance needed to help businesses switch to safer cleaners.

2. According to the Columbia University College of P & S Complete Home Medical Guide, many household chemicals have been shown to trigger asthma attacks in people with a history of asthma. Common household chemicals that such people should avoid or use a mask when working with include:
paints and paint thinner, hair spray, chlorine bleach, spray starch, room deodorizers, spray furniture polish, cleaning solvents, and perfumes.

3. From the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance, certain
discarded household chemicals have the potential to become hazardous waste, infecting the groundwater and other environmental areas. That's because many household cleaners include the same chemicals as strictly
regulated industrial waste. Although individual households may only discard a small amount, the numbers of households disposing of such chemicals can pose a serious environmental threat.

Ore. bill would ban algae-abetting dishwasher soap

By Joseph Rose, The Oregonian
March 30, 2009, 8:54PM

The Senate voted Monday to ban dishwasher detergents with high amounts of phosphorous, bringing Oregon in line with a dozen other states, including Washington.

Phosphorous has long been regulated in cleaning agents such as laundry detergent, but until now dishwasher soaps have gotten a pass.

Environmentalists have been working hard over the past few years to convince states to tighten controls on the substance, which promotes the growth of algae blooms in rivers, lakes and ground water. The blooms essentially steal the oxygen from the water, suffocating other aquatic life.

Portland Sen. Jackie Dingfelder introduced the bill after she learned that states like Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts had approved bans that go into effect July 2010.

"This is something proactive that we can do that is good for the environment," she said.

The Senate voted overwhelmingly for it, sending it to the House.

Oregon has experience with phosphorous pollution. High concentrations in the Tualatin River led to the laundry detergent ban. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has also identified 54 waterways that have excessive amounts of phosphorus.

"I wasn't aware until this bill came out that there was this exception for automatic dishwashing soap," said Sue Marshall of the Tualatin Riverkeepers. "To me that sounds like a lot of phosphorus still getting into the wastewater stream."

The Soap and Detergent Association, a national trade group, threw its support behind Dingfelder -- to her surprise.

"'I'm from the industry you're trying to regulate, and we support this ban,'" she remembered them saying. "I think this is a first for me ... a welcome first."

The group has been supporting the new standard since Washington state passed its ban in 2006.

At the time, the industry was able to persuade lawmakers to give them until mid-2010 to switch to new formulas.

Since then, it's been working to make sure other legislatures used a similar standard and timeline, asking states to "keep it uniform because of the enormous complexity of what's being undertaken," said Dennis Griesing of the Soap and Detergent Association.

There are still some kinks to be worked out, Griesing says. For starters, the low-phosphorous soaps don't work well in commercial dishwashers. For that reason, they would be exempt from the ban.

The soaps also are less effective in hard water.

In Spokane, where the ban has already gone into effect, residents have taken to crossing into Idaho for illicit detergents. Something similar happened in Arizona when the industry used the state as a test market, Griesing said.

"They walked away from it. It wasn't getting the job done," he said. "Phosphorous has always been really good at softening the water."

Still, Dingfelder says she uses low-phosphorous detergent and her dishes come out "perfectly clean."

Spokane County Bans Phosphates

Spokane County in July adopted a near total ban on sales of water-softening phosphates in dishwasher detergent -- the first in the nation -- in an attempt to slow the flood of pollutants that is sucking oxygen out of the endangered Spokane River, smothering its fish.
The problem, Marcotte and many of her neighbors say, is that most low-phosphate detergents are wimps when it comes to fighting greasy pots and spaghetti-crusted plates. So she has become a detergent outlaw, driving 45 minutes across the Idaho state line to pick up secret stashes of the old, bad dish cleansers: the brutish Cascades, the muscular Electrasols.
"With the 'green' stuff, the dishes come out with a real slippery texture -- like somebody poured a cup of grease in some dishwater -- and a white film. Just really gross," Marcotte said. "And then the food gunk just mixes around the dishwasher and when it stops, it just settles on whatever's there. I mean, it's bad."
Retailers in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, say the sight of apologetic but defiant Washingtonians loading their carts with dishwasher detergent is becoming increasingly common. "We go, 'Are you coming from Spokane?' And they kind of chuckle and say, 'Yeah,' " said Donna Wilkinson, an assistant manager at Costco.
For those inclined to chuckle at the travails of distant, desperate people with dirty dishes, consider this: The detergent industry has pledged to make every automatic dishwashing soap sold in the U.S. and Canada nearly phosphate-free by mid-2010.
With 12 states -- including Washington -- phasing in low-phosphate laws by the end of next year and four others considering them, industry officials say they are gearing up to produce a new generation of products that will clean dishes while not harming lakes and streams. (The California Legislature passed a phosphate law last year, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it.)
The pledge marks a significant turnaround for an industry that until recently not only opposed such laws but also warned that many phosphate-free dishwashing detergents didn't work the way consumers expected them to.
