Not STTP. Not TSP.
Okay. I remember in the late 60s and early 70's seeing pictures of streams and rivers filled with dead fish and covered with soap suds everywhere. I honestly thought the EPA had manufacturers remove phosphates from detergents decades ago. I guess not all of them. Back in the 50's and 60's a large electronics manufacturer near my childhood home dumped tons of PCBs into the main river which was, and still is, used as the primary water source for many towns in northwest South Carolina. This area is one of the EPA's cancer hotspots as the PCBs dumped into the river which flowed downstream into area lakes and other rivers have been determined to be highly carcenogenic. I can take you to the street where I grew up, heck the little town of 800 where I grew up, and point out the houses of folks I knew growing up that died from cancer. On the street where I grew up it seems like everyone has died from, is suffering from, or will soon get cancer. Not meaning any harm, but as a "tree hugger" myself I would much rather have clean safe drinking water than super white laundry. Just my opinion. Thanks, Jim
