Do chemical toilets at a building site poison the soil underneath them?
Question:The toilet is gone, and I worked in topsoil and planted a magnolia. After 5 days, the leaves went black and it wilted. Could there be chemicals from the toilet? Or do these companies put a herbicide on the soil before placing a chemical toilet at a building site?
Answers:
The toilet should be self contained, and there would be no need to treat the ground to place a "porta potty" there. If it would leak it may have been the cause of the plant's demise. Can't be more specific beyond that as different companies use different chemical combinations in their toilets.
I dont think these toilets flush onto the ground below as they use a septic tank, you cant just spill waste onto the ground. Like I dont think air craft empyu in mid flight.
I mean imagine having tea on the lawn one lazy summer afternoon after a tennis match and you just put the barley water to your lips to drink and a mamouth turd drops into the glass ozzing a putrid stench enough to make you heave and spoil your afternoon whatto!
