A toilet plume is the invisible cloud-like dispersal of potentially infectious microscopic sewage particles & water vapor as a result of flushing a toilet. [1] Science has demonstrated that these particles rapidly rise out of the bowl and several feet into the air after flushing.
It goes without saying, but don’t flush living fish or aquatic animals either. Most fish will die of shock due to the cold toilet water, but those that survive can become an invasive species ...
Water coming from domestic equipment other than toilets (e.g., bathtubs, showers, sinks, washing machines) is called greywater. In some sanitation systems, it is preferred to keep the greywater separate from blackwater to reduce the amount of water that gets heavily polluted and to simplify treatment methods for the greywater.

Now you can install the new flush valve inside the toilet and reconnect the flush valve to the supply line in the wall. Get the full video Home Depot tutorial here . Step 5: How to Replace the Flapper
Humans did not evolve from either of the living species of chimpanzees (common chimpanzees and bonobos) or any other living species of apes. [174] Humans and chimpanzees did, however, evolve from a common ancestor. [175] [176] This most recent common ancestor of living humans and chimpanzees would have lived between 5 and 8 million years ago. [177]
It can get even filthier in the bathroom, because when you flush, the bowl releases a "toilet plume" of microscopic fecal particles and anything else you left behind.
A simpler, unenclosed, chemical toilet may be used in camping, travel trailers (caravans) and on small boats. [3] Many chemical toilets use a blue dye in the bowl water. In the past, disinfection was generally carried out by mixing formaldehyde, bleach, or similar chemicals with the toilet water when flushed. Modern formulations are nitrate ...
A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC); see also toilet names) is a toilet that disposes of human waste (i.e., urine and feces) by collecting it in a bowl and then using the force of water to channel it ("flush" it) through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or at a communal facility.
