phosphate
Detergent cleaning agent
Phosphate is a chemical compound containing phosphorus and oxygen, essential to biological processes and widely used in fertilizers, detergents, and food additives.
In chemistry, it refers specifically to the phosphate ion or salts containing it.
Phosphates appear in DNA, ATP, and bone tissue.
Environmental concerns about phosphate runoff causing algal blooms have led to restrictions in detergents: phosphate-free dishwasher soap.
