I have always been interested in Biology and I have heard a lot of bad things about GM food‚ but I have always wondered if there are any benefits‚ so this is what I would like to research. Firstly‚ I would like to look at

Laundry detergents are found in every household and used for removing stains and oils from clothes so they could be reused. The production of this invention first started in the United States in the 1930s but started becoming very popular only after the Second World War because the military required a chemical to remove the dirt and oil off their military outfits (Clean Living). Laundry detergents have a combination of chemicals which combat different barriers to clean the fabric. They have different

to clean up from the environment once it gets into it because it is non-biodegradable. Beside‚ nitrates and phosphates are also the poisonous. There are found in fertilizers‚ are often washed from the soil to nearby water bodies. They can cause eutrophication‚ which can be very problematic to marine environment. Lastly‚ oil forms a thick layer on the water surface because it does not dissolve in water. This can stop marine plants receiving enough light for photosynthesis. It’s also harmful for fish
