Sewer gas is created by the decomposition of waste materials that are found in public and private sewer systems and private septic systems. The characteristic odor can be overpowering and it is toxic. To add further insult to injury, the gas is explosive as it often has a methane component. ...
GASES IN THE SEPTIC TANK NITROGEN REDUCTION in SEPTIC SYSTEMS For a detailed list of the pathogens found in common household wastewater such as a septic tank and drainfield, see also our discussion of pathogens in sewage at SEWAGE PATHOGENS in SEPTIC SLUDGE: what makes up the contents of resid...
'With baths that have a plinth rather than feet there is usually room for the p-trap (the bend that stops foul-smelling toxic gases entering from the sewer) to fit between the floor and the bottom of the bath, but that is not always the case and some baths will require the plumbing ...

Microbeads, or tiny plastic particles, have become a huge source of plastic pollution over the years. Microbeads make their way to our oceans through sewer lines. And they are often found in face scrubs, toothpaste, and body washes.
Here we have discussed solutions to microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, which largely form in terrestrial environments from primary or secondary microplastics. We know that microplastics are global, increasingly toxic over time, and impacts to wildlife are pervasive, leading to the collective conclusion...
