The major components of SEWER gas can include: nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide(CO2), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), biological organisms, water vapor, and other chemicals discharged to theeffluent ,2 The presence and concentration of any of these components can vary with time, composition ofthe sewage, temperature, and accounts for about 78% of the earth's atmosphere, and generally is not released from normallyexpected sewage reactions.
