Ptorq's rule of thumb: nothing is "safe". There are always tradeoffs.
There are environmental consequences of using phosphate detergents (I assume this is what you meant, rather than "soap"). So no, they aren't 100% safe.
All the sodium phosphates (Na3PO4, NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4) have useful applications at home: laxative, components of detergents, soaps, other cleaning materials, applications in soldering, wall paintings, etc.
Most conventional soaps and detergents are biodegradable, as they break down into simpler compounds in the environment. However, some detergents may contain non-biodegradable or poorly biodegradable ingredients that can accumulate and persist in the environment. It is important to choose eco-friendly and biodegradable options to minimize environmental impact.
Soaps were generally used for cleaning clothes and for curing animal hides. The Romans used soap on their bodies as part of bathing, and they spread their soap making skills throughout Europe.
Phosphate detergents are banned in some areas because they can contribute to water pollution by promoting the growth of algae, which depletes oxygen levels in water bodies and harms aquatic life. To protect the environment and reduce the impact of water pollution, these areas have implemented bans on phosphate detergents in household products.
Phosphate can cause environmental damage by promoting excessive algae growth in bodies of water, leading to eutrophication and subsequent depletion of oxygen levels. This can harm aquatic life and disrupt the balance of ecosystems. Runoff from agricultural activities and wastewater treatment plants are common sources of phosphate pollution in the environment.
It is important to realize that few soaps available today are actually soap. Some are detergents rather than soaps. Soaps generally are phosphate free while detergents contain phosphorous as a phosphate. The phosphate is present to improve cleaning ability and prevent the problems associated with "soap scum" Phosphates were determined to be a cause of eutrophication (enrichment) of water with associated algae growth. As a result most countries banned or reduced the acceptable phosphate levels in detergent based soaps. The algae can make the wear taste bad. In North America the major source of phosphate waste water from domestic sources is dishwasher detergent.
Soaps made from vegetables are readily biodegradable and tend to have less phosphorous and nitrogen than cmmercially sourced soaps.
for adults not for children or teenage
Phosphoic acid is used in phosphate fertilizers, agricultural feeds, waxes, polishes, soaps, and detergents.
Phosphate, a key nutrient for plant growth, originates from rocks and minerals in the natural environment.
Through their dung.
The phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule is most exposed to the watery environment in the cell. The phosphate groups are hydrophilic and interact with water molecules, making them the most accessible part of the DNA molecule in the cellular environment.
Eco-Friendly means... good for the environment. often when you read on bottled cleaner, it may say eco-friendly, menaing it wont do harm to the environment, also when buying soaps look for the ones that are phosphate free, and that means has no phosphate that harm our water systems.a good house-hold cleaner that is really cheap is vinigar and water... its completely natural, may not smell to great but it kiils baceria without any harmful chemicals. the smell may not please you but that's why they make candles people!!!! and insence sticks too!!!
to maintain a safe environment for children it is the adults responsibility to carry out risk assessment and safety checks through the daymaking sure that the environment is safe

One impact that soaps and detergents have on the environment would be acidification. Acidification occurs when the chemicals in such soaps cycles through the planets natural water cycle. Acidification can cause acid rain. Biodegradable soaps can help lessen these effects.
