Sanitary sewage is treated in plants that mix the raw sewage with bacteria to consume the waste materials. The nature of these bacteria is that they need oxygen to live and grow (they are aerobic bacteria). The plant equipment mixes air into the sewage to increase the transfer of oxygen to the water at much higher rates than quiescent conditions. A an added advantage this mixes the bacteria and sewage so that the bacterial population is much higher and the treatment much faster. The "full" bacteria are separated from the clean water which is discharged to surface watercourses.

Additionally, when sewage is not properly treated, it can lead to the release of harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and ammonia into the air, contributing to air pollution.
What kind of air pollution ends up in lakes and rivers?
sewage
How is carbon dioxide formed from a mixture of sewage microorganisms and air?
In a sewage treatment process, microorganisms break down organic matter present in the sewage through respiration. As they respire, they release carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide is formed when the organic compounds in the sewage are broken down and their carbon content is released into the environment as CO2.
What is an air admittance vent?
An air admittance vent is a mechanical sewer vent which allows air to enter into the sewage system but does not allow exhaust of sewer gases.
