Is phosphate harmless?

Let's look at the reverse side of the medal and see that:

• phosphates are fertilizer and cause a strong flowering of water bodies, which is dangerous for all living organisms, including humans, because people drink this water;
• salts of phosphorus, remaining on things after washing, increase the throughput of the skin, reduce its protection and help to get into our body of surfactants( surfactants).

Important! The most dangerous anionic surfactants - they have a detrimental effect on human organs, reduce immunity and cause allergic reactions.

You can, of course, get rid of insoluble phosphorus salts by repeatedly rinsing things, but not every hostess has time for it. What to do in this case? Is there any washing powder without phosphates?

How to make the powder safe?

Every day our skin contacts millions of aggressive substances. Of course, this affects her not in the best way. And with phosphates contained in powders and reducing the barrier function of the skin, a person comes into contact constantly, because one rinse is not enough. Reduce the harm caused by these substances, you can repeatedly rinsed all the linen.

Important! Most phosphates do not dissolve in water and remain on the tissue.

It is also recommended to install a washing machine in the bathroom so that you do not have to constantly breathe particles containing dangerous substances.

Important! Keep the washing means in a closed pack, and when washing it is recommended to use gloves.

However, there is a way easier. In Europe and America, the danger of phosphorus salts has long been recognized and set limits on the content of phosphates in SMS: no more than 5%, as well as surfactants - no more than 15%.This concentration is considered safe for humans.

Important! Recently, manufacturers are increasingly using the second name surfactants - detergents. If one of these two names with high concentration is indicated on the package in the composition, then it is better not to take such a detergent.

It would seem, here they are, safe powders. It is enough to buy SMS from European countries( for example, Ariel, Tide, etc.), and the risk of negative consequences will be minimized.

But in factories in Europe, along with harmless powders without phosphates, also produce products with a high content of insoluble phosphorus salts( up to 30-40%) - especially for transportation to countries where there are no restrictions on the phosphate content of household products.
