How Long Does Sewage Contamination Last?
The duration of sewage contamination depends on several factors:
Factor |
Influence |
Amount of sewage released |
The larger the spill, the longer the contamination will persist. |
Type of soil |
Porous soils allow sewage to penetrate deeper and linger longer. |
Temperature |
Higher temperatures accelerate the decomposition of sewage, shortening its lifespan. |
Precipitation |
Heavy rainfall can wash away sewage, reducing its impact. |
Generally, sewage contamination can persist for days to weeks. However, thorough cleanup and disinfection measures can significantly reduce its duration.
