Why is untreated sewage so dangerous? Untreated sewage contains harmful pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can lead to severe illnesses. Exposure can cause gastrointestinal infections, skin rashes, and even serious respiratory problems. Additionally, the lingering moisture from sewage spills can promote mold growth, which further compromises indoor air quality and can exacerbate allergies and asthma.
