If the detergent rich in phosphates used for washing human clothes gets mixed in a pool, it results in eutrophication.
Explanation:
Phosphates in detergents act as nutrients that promote excessive growth of algae in water bodies, a process known as eutrophication. This leads to oxygen depletion, harming aquatic life and causing ecological imbalance in the water ecosystem.
