The Thread of What?

[Spr.Earl]

I have created this thread as I did in the Military History Thread with the "Question of the Hour"
This thread is for useless genearal knowledge which may of us have in our pea brain's and the first question is:

How much toxic waste is created in one year by formal burial's in the America?

 

[SIG MITCH]

I'll go with 10,000 Gallons.....

 

[Spr.Earl]

!0,000 gl. is a good stab at it but the real figure is 827,060 gl.'s of embalming fluid - formadehyde,methanol and ethonol.
All just to make us lokk perty for open viewing.
Rather silly what?

Crematiom put's dioxins,hydrochloric acid,sulfer dioxide and carbon dioxide into the air.

 

[SIG MITCH]

10,000 well that was kind of close to 827,060... wasnt it? lol

Ech! Thats a lot of fluids!

Dont those fluids replace the bodily fluids?  Bodily fluids dont qualify as 'toxic' but dont bodily fluids qualify as 'hazardous waste'?

(Our favorite bodily fluids expert from Dr. Strangelove...)

(Edit - changed image as COBRA-6 pointed out the quote on it was incorrect!)

Alright, I gotta ask. Is that 827 THOUSAND gallons? (There's a comma between the 827 and the 060. I hope to god it's supposed to be 8 HUNDRED and 27 gallons. (Which in itself is a pathetic amount of chemicals)

PS- This thread is like a Seinfeld episode. It isn't about anything .

My point is, if 827,060 gallons  of toxic liquids go in, then you would think about the same amount of hazardous waste would come out! (about 3.31 million liters)

Keep in mind that those (bodily) fluids are possibly hazardous to our health, but not to the environment. Humans are biodegradable.
