This type growing of vegetables will be responsible for various diseases which resulting in water borne diseases, causing widespread morbidity and mortality. Usage of untreated faecal sludge causes contamination of soil and water bodies and human health. The killing of pathogens before application can reduce the negative impacts on environment and on human health.
