Conclusion In conclusion, the Soap Association's research program to data, in addition to contributing to the technical knowledge, has had very constructive effects in at least two somewhat separate but important areas. First, the research program has corrected a number of misconceptions about the possible effects of the normal use of household detergents by the American public on water supplies and sewage treatement misconceptions which otherwise might have been accepted by default; and second, it seems reasonable to assume from the findings so far that it will be possible, if necessary, to develop technological processes capable of handling any problems which may arise.
