The effect of cleaning products on the environment

After cleaning or washing the water containing the cleaning agent, we often pour it into the sink or toilet. From the apartment it goes to the sewage system and then to the sewage treatment plant. From there, purified water flows into rivers and lakes. Cleaning products may contain ingredients that are harmful to us as well as to plants and animals. In addition, the mere presence of such an agent in water changes its properties. What do you think will happen if the water with cleaning products gets into the environment?
