Labs septic

Okay, kiddo, let's talk about labs and septic systems.

So, first, let's talk about what a lab is. A lab is a place where scientists and other people do experiments and tests to learn about different things.

Now, let's talk about septic systems. This is a system that helps get rid of waste from our homes. When we use the toilet, take a shower, or do laundry, all that waste goes down a pipe and into a big tank called a septic tank.

The waste goes through a process where bacteria and other tiny things break it down and make it safe to go back into the ground.

So, what does a lab have to do with a septic system? Well, sometimes people who work in labs use chemicals that can be harmful to the bacteria in the septic tank.

If the bacteria in the septic tank aren't healthy, it can cause problems with the septic system. So, it's important for people working in labs to be careful with what they use and to make sure it doesn't harm the septic system.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
