It is not just human waste that is being pumped into the ocean off Sydney’s popular beaches due to the city’s unusual and archaic sewerage system – government scientists have confirmed billions of microplastics are also polluting the water.
An ocean of shit and plastic :)
TIL sewerage is defined as ‘the provision of drainage by sewers’ whereas sewage is ‘waste matter such as water or human urine or solid waste’ although the former seems to be more interchangeable with the latter.
