Sanitary System Overflow, or SSO, is a condition where untreated sewage becomes expelled from a sanitary sewer into the environment prior to reaching sewage treatment plants. When there’s rainfall, it’s commonly known as wet weather overflow. In developed countries...

In the last blog post, we discussed the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on infrastructure and how an excess of the colorless gas can corrode pipes, sewer lines, and other equipment. If that’s not bad enough, hydrogen sulfide effects can also corrode human health –...
