Humans don't poop in a box and have someone else handle it? Or at least their caregivers assume they don't.

- sandworm101 5y agoCorrect. We poop into a pipe that takes it to a wastewater treatment facility where government employees handle it.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoDo wastewater plants use Geiger counters/data loggers on waste streams?
- nick__m 5y agoI don't think that there is a need for monitoring since radiotracer usually have a short halflife, they usually use fluoride-18 (half life 110min) to replace a -OH or a well placed -H in a molecule that bind to the site of interest (ex: glucose -> fluorodeoxyglucose, levodopa -> fluorodopa).
- LinuxBender 5y agoMany people in rural areas use composting toilets. It's a popular trend with those into self sustaining homesteads. The poop is generally going to be handled by a family member and mixed in with compost. After the bacteria in the compost breaks it down, it is then mixed in with other fertilizer and earth and used in greenhouses. The products grown in the greenhouse may be shared with neighbors or sold locally. Just adding for completely sake.
