### substance | waste:

Animal waste
* are a significant source of nutrients
  - another source of persistent pollution in some areas
  - of several sorts
* can also act as a fertilizer and create damage by increasing nutrients
  - be a contributor to storm water pollution
* contain higher levels of another bacteria, fecal streptococci.
* contains a high concentration of nutrients as well as pathogens and bacteria
  - pathogens that pose a threat to human health
  - several potential water pollutants
* contaminates many of our waters with pathogens and nutrients.
* degrade in an oxygen-rich environment that favors biochemical decomposition.
* has a serious negative impact on the environment.
* improve most soils, but the effects differ according to the kind of soil.
* includes livestock and poultry manure, wasted feed, bedding and feedlot runoff.
* is also a challenge to carbon management
  - high in nitrogen
  - different than municipal waste or industrial waste and has to be treated as such
  - everywhere
  - one of the greatest contributors to water quality problems in Indiana
  - to be sent to waste heat-processing plants
* leading source of phosphorus pollution from agriculture.
* major non-point source of nitrogren pollution in waterways
  - source of polluted run-off that can contaminate rivers and groundwater
* permeates our water supply in several ways.
* poses a human health risk due to pathogens it carries, such as cryptosporidium
  - to pathogens, such as cryptosporidium
* provides significantly more phosphorus than nitrogen relative to plant requirement.
* ravages the environment.
* runs off lawns and curbs and contributes to bacterial pollution of surface waters
  - contributes to pollution in the rivers and the harbour
* source of bacteria and nutrients.
* valuable fertilizer and soil conditioner.

Boondoggle
* are work that usually has insignificant value compared to the expense.
* is waste

Chemical waste
* belongs to the individual who generated it.
* is disposed of in several different ways
  - properly

Digestive waste
* enters the cloaca before it exits the body.
* is eliminated from the food vacuoles of collar cells by exocytosis
  - through the anus
* leaves the earthworm through the anus

Domestic waste
* Most domestic waste ends up in legal or illegal landfills.
* consist essentially of organic materials, which are composted in the gardens.

Dung
* Most dungs provide nutrients.
* Some dungs consist of sand.
* Some dungs contain cellulose
  - seeds

### substance | waste:

Effluent
* can also contain inorganic wastes such as brine salts and metals.
* contains finely divided suspended matter and soluble matter.
* distributed into the soil eventually ends up in the groundwater.
* dumped in watercourses transform the major European rivers into veritable sewers.
* flow through the bed and remain below the surface of the media.
* flows straight into surface or groundwater.
* generally contain high levels of water, sulfur dioxide, and fine particulate matter.
  - wastewater treated to drinking-water standards
* thus endanger the health and welfare of hundreds of thousands of people.

### substance | waste | effluent:

Industrial effluent
* are also a major source of arsenic to the environment.
* is another major source of pollution.

Treated effluent
* having a low color content also have a low copper concentration.
* is used for irrigation of plantings and flowers in the very arid location.

Excrement
* Describes the outputs of the breathing and eating functions after processing.
* is present on the underside of leaves
  - used for territorial marking, and flung with the tail
* major source of harmful micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and parasites.

Excretory product
* Some excretory products contain waste.
* include chemicals.
* is waste
* pass into the pelvis, thence to the ureter.
