Bueltman, vice president of the Soap and Detergent Association, testified last week that "phosphates in surface waters come from many sources, such as fertilizers, runoff from uncultivated lands and forests, human excrement, detergents and industrial wastes." Bueltman claimed that "the elimination of detergent phosphate alone could not mitigate or diminish excessive algae growth." If .detergents were banned, he hinted, housewives would revolt...
