Abstract:

The Clean Detergent Act, which would prohibit the sale of home laundry detergents containing more than 0.5 percent phosphorus, passed the North Carolina House on May 1. The Act is an attempt to reduce the amount of phosphorous entering lakes and estuaries, thereby reducing algal bloom events. However, there is opposition to the bill from the Senate.
