Untreated sewage dumping is a global issue that is affecting the world. Untreated sewage is being dumped in areas like India, Africa, parts of Asia and parts of Latin America. These areas cannot afford to treat their sewage. Even though the dumping is only in those areas, it affects the whole world. Once the untreated sewage is in the water, it can spread throughout the world possibly contaminating water everywhere.
Untreated sewage dumping causes many water born illnesses affecting health and ruins marine ecosystems. The contaminated water causes cholera, typhoid, and many more fatal diseases. Not only does untreated sewage dumping cause many health problems, it kills the marine ecosystems. Metals like mercury and chromium kill fish.
Untreated sewage dumping is a global issue that can be easily solved.
