As I mentioned in a previous post, the way humanity deals with trash and sewage is close to the root of some of our disease and pestilence problems. Here is a watchdog (Water Environment Federation) agency's analysis of some resent dialogue between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council regarding whether the current regulations dealing with waste disposal are sufficient to defeat any risk to human health. Pretty dry stuff, but it is nice to know there are those out there who do keep an eye on such things.
