Question

Why should oils and fats be not released in the drain? Explain.

Answer in Brief

Solution

  • Oils and fats harden and block sewage pipes.
  • Fats also block the porosity of the soil in an open drain, which affects its water-filtering efficiency. That is why oils and fats should not be released in the drain.
