Diamond Hits Switch On Phosphate
New York State environmental commissioner Henry L. Diamond told a House subcommittee the federal shift on phosphate pollution risks the credibility of the environmental movement. He said New York will enforce its 1971 limit of 8.7 per cent phosphates in detergents by January 1, noting studies show this level cleans clothes without extra harmful ingredients and can lower treatment costs and improve water quality. Diamond added only half of wastewater phosphorous comes from detergents and warned the issue extends beyond phosphates, urging consistency in public messaging.
