The research, published in journals Global Change Biology and Ecological Solutions, found human wastewater is \u201cradically altering\u201d animal, plant and microbe communities and is more damaging than agricultural waste. It was found to be the main driver increasing algae, nutrient and sewage fungus in rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Dania Albini, Department of Biology, University of Oxford, and lead author of the study, said: \u201cOur study highlights the disproportionate impact that sewage discharge has on river quality, presenting an urgent need for a comprehensive action plan targeting the sewage discharge problem. Sewage fungus is a complex mix of fungus, algae and bacteria formed when there are high levels of organic nutrients. It reduces oxygen levels enough to negatively affect all river species and kill a high number of fish.<\/p>\n<p>At present, it has to be identified by eye &#8211; by then it is already large enough to be harmful. Worms and cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae, were increasingly abundant downstream of the sewage pipes, the study found. Agricultural run-off encouraged sensitive insect groups of mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies, suggesting sewage is a greater threat to rivers than farming \u2013 though they added the field still needs to be kept in check.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2023\/09\/21\/sewage-most-harmful-pollution-rivers-agricultural-waste\/\">Telegraph<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-407\/\">Sewage most harmful form of pollution for rivers &#8211; and more damaging than agricultural waste<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,452,4256,1165],"class_list":["post-117118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pollution","tag-river","tag-sewage"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117118\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
