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.
