Dear Peter,
more than 30 years (I mean really: in the early 70's). ago I was told by
my city council's environmental folks that I should please recycle my
used fixer so that I do not kill off the bacteria in the water recycling
plant.
It is really surprising for me to read that in the US this is still
"only" a "theory" (may be killing benign bacteria). I presume the matter
is resurfacing because the use of silver is now going up again?? I
would think that the last ten years saw less and less silver solutions
being dumped and now things are changing again. Antibiotics,
desinfectants and poisons will kill anything in sight be it bening or
malevolent (except those bugs which are resistant).
Offtopic #1:
The water works in Munich use South American electric eels to monitor
the water: they emit electricity at a certain frequency which changes as
soon as the fish detect toxins in the water. They are a lot more
sensitive than sensor technology.
Offtopic #2:
Visiting a waste water recycling plant is a very memorable experience.
Highly recommended. What stuck in my mind most is the machine which
stirs resp. whips the sh?t, I mean human faeces into the water, it's the
size of a house and I mean a respectable house. Lends a whole new
meaning to phrases like "the sh.. hit the fan" etc. etc. :-)
Love,
Snoopy
