### Effects of Sewage Spills

Sewage spills can have serious effects on human health and property. These include:

– **Health Hazards:** Sewage contains disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause gastrointestinal illnesses, skin infections, and respiratory problems.
– **Property Damage:** Sewage spills can damage carpets, furniture, walls, and floors, leading to costly repairs and potential mold growth.

### How Long Do Bacteria Survive in Indoor Sewage Spills?

The survival of bacteria in indoor sewage spills depends on several factors, including:

– **Type of Bacteria:** Different types of bacteria survive for different periods of time under varying conditions.
– **Temperature and Humidity:** Warmer and more humid environments promote bacterial growth.
– **Surface Porosity:** Bacteria can penetrate and survive longer in porous materials like carpets and dry wall.

Generally, most bacteria can survive in sewage spills for several days to weeks, making it crucial to address spills immediately to mitigate health risks and prevent further contamination.
