TMT, you paint the subject with too broad a brush.

IF you specify a particular chemical, you may say, "This does (or does
not) stay in the water." *Not all chemicals do, and household bleach -
which was mentioned - is one of the ones that completely decomposes,
quickly.

Don't fall into believing the nanny-state mantra that ALL things
artificial are automatically permanent pollutants. *They aren't.

I agree...one needs to look at the science..the PR..from either side.

But the point is the environment is a closed system.

You need to know what will happen before you flush it down the
drain..not after which has been the case.

If one follows the mutant frog story, the first incident of it was
found in area with septic tanks..whose fields drained into a
pond...where the frogs were. The birth control chemicals from the
houses were the cause.
