Mohammad Darvish, an environmental activist, has warned about hospital sewage in Mashhad entering agricultural lands, stating that this sewage is extremely more dangerous than urban sewage.
According to the Shargh newspaper, Mr. Darvish added that this practice has a twenty-year history.
He mentioned that the sewage of Charmshahr, which enters Kashfroud, had its concrete pipe drilled and the sewage is extracted with a motor pump and sold. Even the treatment plant managers said we receive so little that we hit sludge.
Shargh newspaper wrote that ignoring the environmental risks of using sewage can lead to health crises for citizens. Mashhad is one of the places where the use of raw sewage and even its theft has sparked significant controversies these days. Although actions were taken to stop it after environmental activists protested, the repetition of this practice is possible.
