Be Careful Not to Pollute Rivers, Lakes, or Ponds! Do Not Use Laundry Detergent as Fishing Bait
Recently, a man went fishing at a lake in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. However, after waiting for a long time, he caught nothing and could not catch any fish. When the man gradually lost his patience and decided to pack up his fishing gear and go home, he was surprised to find that a large number of fish in the lake were gathered around an aunt who was washing clothes by the lake. This scene made the fisherman envious. So, netizens commented: Do you need to add some laundry detergent when fishing?
Never use laundry detergent to bait a fishing line. The laundry detergents we use in daily life are generally divided into three types: laundry detergent, liquid laundry detergent, and dry cleaning agent. The aunt in this incident may have used powdered laundry detergent. Laundry detergent is an alkaline synthetic detergent, the main ingredients of which include anionic surfactants (such as sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate) and a small amount of non-ionic surfactants, as well as builders (such as phosphates, silicates, sodium sulfate, etc.), enzymes, and fluorescent agents. Laundry detergents are usually in powder form and have strong stain and odor removal capabilities, but because of their strong alkalinity, they can cause certain irritation and damage to the skin.
In modern life, detergents have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. However, we may not realize that these detergents also have certain negative impacts on the environment.
In the face of water pollution, we can take some measures to reduce the impact of detergents on the environment. First, choose low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free washing powder and dishwashing detergent to reduce phosphorus emissions. Second, reduce the amount of detergents used and avoid overuse. Finally, choose biodegradable detergents, so that even if they are discharged into the water, they will not cause much harm to the ecological environment.
In the vast rural areas (especially remote rural areas), garbage and domestic sewage are discharged directly without treatment, which is a very common and even universal problem. People all over the country use personal chemical care products and daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and laundry detergent, but garbage and sewage treatment has not yet reached every village and household in my country. In this regard, people need to pay attention to it. Waste recycling and pollution control require the participation of the grassroots and even everyone.
