Offline Database

Healthdata was also available as a disc based offline database, also in the viewdata format. It seems as if it was mostly a copy of the online content, so we present it here for your delight and access..

Do note that this information is at least 20 years old. Please do not rely on anything in here as current medical advice; for that please visit the NHS website.

                                        
    Phosphates                          
                                        
                                        
    Detergents and washing powders often
 contain phosphates as a water softener.
 Phosphates are also used extensively by
 farmers and are present in industrial  
 waste.                                 
                                        
    Much of this phosphate ends up in   
 rivers and, like nitrate, contributes  
 to the overgrowth of algae.            
                                        
    It is possible to make effective    
 detergents that don't contain phosphate
 and these are widely used in other     
 countries.                             
                                        
    Some treatment works are able to    
 remove phosphates from water.
