I caught a blurb on the news this morning about the eventual (1 - 2 years) statewide ban on cleaning agents containing phosphorus. Looked into it a little more and phosphate is a salt of phosphoric acid. I am thinking that this may include Star-san in the long run.
Any chemists/chemical enthusiasts have any info?

"The phosphate ban is important to Spokane. We need it," said Sen. Brad Benson, R-Spokane.
Phosphates common in fertilizer spur the growth of algae in lakes and rivers. When algae dies and decays, it uses up oxygen in the water. Result: ailing or dead fish.
