YOU THINK YOU KNOW INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW SH*T

In all seriousness I don't believe the secrecy is about the stigma and/or use of bio solids as fertilizer. I think it's an amazing idea and a part of the natural order of this planet. I believe it's a subject that could be taught to school children no differently than sexual education. To me the secrecy has to do with one question. How are the poisonous and carcinogenic chemicals and heavy metals being filtered out during the process.?

I don't trust the people who profit from the processing and retailing of the end product to self regulate and test for public safty concerns without a neutral third party and the public is left to take their word for it.

Furthermore even if the chemical are measured in parts per million and trace amounts are found not to effect the public's health directly; how can you guarantee that every plant and every other living organism are not having negetive effects by these trace chemicals which would then in turn negatively impact other things i.e. the food supply?

For example, chemicals in the fertilizer are taken up by let's say flowers, then by honeybees, which then effect the bee colonys which effect pollination and the production of the crops that feed the nation. Or even the worms and countless other vital microorganisms that break down nutrients and airate the soil.

Can we learn from the mistakes of the European Americans water treatment system and avoid these issues entirely?

Would our zoning laws include separate and closed sewer systems for industrial facilities, hospitals, residential, rain runoff with their own treatment centers?

Would the answer be to outlaw the use of harmful products i.e. Draino (which reads poison on its label) and mandate safe alternatives for residential uses?

Could we regulate offenders by installing devices that could monitor detect and isolated individual septic tanks that introduce illegal substances to the system?

Could we have a contingency system for flooding that would flush excess water like a toilet into a predetermined location when it reaches a certain level?

Just a few thoughts.

create acid like fluids to burn and disolve the humans waste , like what the drug cartels use to get rid of bodies. also please dont think of using it as fertilizer, humans eat meat, have period cycles, dead cells from the flu and other bodily ailments that get flushed out as waste.
