How does farting affect the environment?

Answer 1

* When sewage is not properly collected and transported to sewage treatment plant in a sanitary way, sewage emanates foul odour causing air pollution and gives room for mosquito breeding leading to spread of diseases. * When sewage is discharged into river bodies without proper treatment, organic matters present in sewage causes depletion of dissolved oxygen which in turn affect aquatic eco system existing in the water bodies * Some gases like methane, carbon-di-oxide, sulphur-di-oxide, etc. are formed in sewage and escape into atmosphere causing air pollution and acclerating global warming by green house gases.
