He also demanded hearings to find out why Chicago’s 1971 ban on household detergents containing phosphates is not being enforced. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The phosphates are a group of minerals of one or more metallic elements chemically associated with the phosphate compound PO4. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Quacks have done an immense amount of harm by frightening patients into the belief that they were suffering from discharges of this kind when there was, in fact, nothing more than a copious deposit of phosphates, which is not at all infrequent in nervous people, especially after eating. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)

Phosphorus forms several series of salts; but the phosphates are the only ones which need be considered. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)

Quacks have done an immense amount of harm by frightening patients into the belief that they were suffering from discharges of this kind, when there was, in fact, nothing more than a copious deposit of phosphates, which is not at all infrequent in nervous people, especially after eating. ❋ Unknown (1877)

But the article in which the phosphates are the most convenient, because the most minutely distributed, is guano; and this, when judiciously used, must find favor wherever it can be obtained. ❋ Solon Robinson (1841)

Thanks to environmental protection laws passed in 16 states, dish detergent manufacturers have been forced to remove powerful cleansing agents called phosphates from their formulas nationwide. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Lapen says that the elements used back then were mostly found in minerals called phosphates, which succumb relatively quickly to weathering and geological processes. ❋ Science News (2010)

Beginning July 1, 2010, the amount of phosphorus (also known as phosphates) in home-dishwasher detergent sold in Washington state will be limited to 0.5 percent. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Phosphorylation is the attachment of chemical tags, known as phosphates, onto the amino acids in a protein. ❋ Unknown (2009)

DAGK is the smallest known kinase (a protein that adds chemical groups called phosphates onto other molecules), and it is not similar to any other known proteins. ❋ Unknown (2009)

He said measurements for nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates, as well as other information sensors, such as fish finders, could be added in the future. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This crisis has arisen, the Prof says, because intensive cultivation has given rise to an upward trend in "diffuse" pollution from nitrates and phosphates which is proving difficult to reverse. ❋ Richard (2006)

University of Zimbabwe fish biologist, said that the discharge of poorly treated effluent had resulted in unacceptably high levels of harmful waste such as phosphates and nitrates in the area's waterways. ❋ Unknown (1996)

All of them contain small amounts of directly available plant foods such as phosphates and potash, but careful investigation both in laboratory pot cultures and in the field, has shown that these can account for only a relatively temporary effect on growth. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

It requires for its favourable development air, warmth, moisture, absence of strong light, presence of a salifiable base -- viz., carbonate of lime -- the presence of certain mineral food-constituents, such as phosphates, and a certain amount of alkalinity. ❋ Charles Morton Aikman (N/A)

In a neutral solution, other substances (such as phosphates and arsenates) also yield a precipitate with a solution of nitrate of silver; and will count as chloride if they are not removed. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)
