Summary
In many countries, for example, there are no treatment plants for fecal sludge, which
means it’s often emptied into the environment and bodies of water, said Josiane
Nikiema, research group leader of circular economy and water pollution at the
International Water Management Institute.
Sanitation becomes a direct contributor to
environmental pollution and to causing a number of negative health impacts on the
communities that are exposed to these kinds of issues.
