Sewage Contamination Dangers Exposed in New Educational Video

Aug. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video.  The video is about sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and the health hazards for building occupants exposed to the aftermath.

Sanitary sewer overflows happen every day across the nation.  When they occur they can spread raw sewage into basements and out of manholes and cause extensive damage and the risk of disease in both indoor and outdoor environments. They are typically associated with sewer pipe blockages that may have been caused by pipe breaks or cracks due to tree roots, system deterioration, insufficient system capacity and construction mishaps.

“For those unfortunate enough to have this occur in their home or place of business there are environmental and health and safety concerns that need to be addressed,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.   “Sewage can host an array of chemical and microbial contaminants and pathogens.  These contaminants soak into porous building materials and can be an immediate potential threat to building occupants.  We hope this video helps educate families about the dangers associated with sewage overflows.”
