Answer to Problem 3.1CTDQ
An individual should use dishwasher detergents that are free of phosphorus and should encourage others to change the dishwasher detergents.
Explanation of Solution
High level of phosphorus acts as a water pollutant. The use of phosphorus containing products is increasing day by day. It causes degradation of aquatic ecosystems through excessive growth of algae and photosynthetic bacteria.
An individual should use dishwasher detergents that are free of phosphorus. This is due to the fact that phosphorus pollutes freshwater lakes, ponds and other aquatic systems. The phosphorus present in cleansing agents like detergents causes eutrophication of algae. The individual would encourage others to change the dishwasher detergents because phosphorus is not good for aquatic ecosystems.
