TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE... just uttering the name sends chills down the spine, doesn't it. Pure cleaning power!! For many years, compounds similar to this were used in clothes and dishwashing detergents, until the damage that phosphates caused to the environment was realized. Now, the power of phosphates is limited, but you can still purchase and use it in its purest form, TSP. What damage to the environment? Well, the release of vast quantities of phosphates into the open environment caused a shift in the balance of life in lakes, rivers, and streams. Phosphate-loving algae flourished, removing much of the oxygen from the water due to their rapid reproduction, leaving other plant and animal life at risk. In the early '70's, limitations on the use of phosphates were implemented in the US and Canada.
