The blogger writes that ammonium ion is a product of ammonia decomposition. "Essentially, these are phosphate-ion sewage drains – the maximum permissible amount is exceeded by 39 times! Anionic surfactants exceed the maximum permissible amount by 20 times! This is caused by detergents, etc.," the blogger explains.
