Never, EVER Flush These Things Down a Toilet


Have you ever noticed those signs in public restrooms that say “Don’t flush anything down the toilet except toilet paper”? Someone had to have done that… and flooded the bathroom, right? Turn out, it’s not just about clogging the john. Those pipes lead to the sewers, where wet wipes, condoms, and grease from your kitchen sink can congeal and turn into huge masses called “fatbergs.” So, how can you help keep our sewage system free of fatbergs? Never, EVER flush these kinds of products down a toilet, sink, or drain. -- Producer/Video by: Jason Lederman Researcher/Narrator: Amy Schellenbaum Music: APM Music Special Thanks: NYC Water, Thames Water, Museum of London, Alice Kim Media: Pixabay, Pexels, Pond5, FreeSound.org, Prelinger Archive (archive.org), Wikimedia Commons -- FOLLOW POPULAR SCIENCE https://www.popsci.com Facebook: http://bit.ly/1mDk8YO Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/popsci Instagram: http://bit.ly/2ieE7iU Snapchat: http://bit.ly/2fSZV2X Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2idLrLJ #popsci #science #fatberg #toilet #grease #drain #sink #bathroom #flush http://bit.ly/2tj3tim Popular Science February 14, 2019 at 01:39PM
