Precautions to be Taken While Entering Sewers

Precautions to be Taken While Entering Sewers Various poisonous and explosive gasses are commonly found in sewers such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) along with petrol vapors. These gases are produced largely when the sewage becomes stale and septic, which occurs more commonly in hotter climates. In addition to the … Continue reading Precautions to be Taken While Entering Sewers
