Too_Many_Tools fired this volley:
Anyone who thinks what is flushed down the drain doesn't end up back
into your water supply does not understand science.

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 guess you must be saying that chlorine is OK to inhale then.

For you, it might just be.

But the assumption that the sole source compounds is human
activity is ludicrous. As is the assumption that things do not break
down.

I'd be interested how TMT figures that what gets flush will some
how windup up hill of the water intake.
Actually, I wouldn't.
