This is one thing I hate about most cleaning products. Whatever you're using, it eventually goes to a lake / something. Treatment is great and all, but if it's not designed to be broken down quickly by nature / the treatment, it stays in the lake. That drain cleaner? Meds? Micro-bead face cleanser? It all goes to the same place, often still intact (chemically speaking). And even if you don't add much, millions do, and it does add up.
It's enough to drive me to buy as many biodegradable / compostable products as possible. Now if only they weren't so crazy expensive...
