Wonât That Stink? â Living in a Green Home with a Composting Toilet Why bathrooms with composting toilets smell better. We installed the kind of composting toilet with a large tank in the basement. The tank had a small fan that constantly exhausted air from the tank through the vent on the roof. So, whenever anyone went to the bathroom and...uh...did their business, the bathroom smelled better than before they went in there.

Why Does My AC Smell Bad? Sewage: Most sewer lines smell like they do because of methane. If you smell methane in your home the most likely cause is a ruptured sewer main near the ductwork. Methane gas can seep into the system and spread throughout the house. Methane is harmful in large quantities, flammable, and has a very unpleasant smell.

- The next time you flush a toilet, consider this: 1 billion people defecate in the open. Another 4 billion use rudimentary toilets and their waste is never treated. I have visited communities where this is a sobering fact of life. The smell can be overwhelming, but even worse, the sewage seeps into the water supply, spreading disease. Poor sanitation is linked to the deaths of some 700,000 children every year. Our foundation is funding the Omni Processor, a machine that we hope will make sanitation affordable. In this slideshow you can read more about the OP and see what a difference breakthrough sanitation ideas can make.

- Composting toilets produce a compost that may be used for horticultural or agricultural soil enrichment if the local regulations allow this. A curing stage is often needed to allow mesophilic composting to reduce potential phytotoxins.he term composting toilet is used quite loosely, and its meaning may vary by country. For example, in English-speaking countries, the term anaerobic composting (equivalent to anaerobic decomposition) is used. In Germany and Scandinavian countries, composting always refers to a predominantly aerobic process.

How much methane does composting produce? Rotting stuff in a landfill undergoes anaerobic decomposition and produces methane. A compost pile undergoes aerobic decomposition and requires oxygen (O2) for the process to work. Because it is exposed to oxygen it produces CO2 (carbon dioxide) instead of methane. Composting (is supposed to) produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) instead of Methane. Of course it's not perfect and some methane is produced. Unless you do a controlled experiment like Michael Graham you won't know.
