Pesticides
Another dangerous factor for the environment and the other ones that you might throw down the pipes are pesticides. We can all agree they’re great for battling bugs and parasites in plants, but they’re seriously dangerous when thrown down the drain. First, they can damage your garbage disposal’s seals, eat through your pipes, no matter if they’re new or old.
In addition, pesticides are on the top substances that can turn into a real health hazard, if they reach the city’s water supply. No matter how much public wastewater treatment systems might filter these chemicals, if they end up in drinking water, they’re no good.
