    Smelling sewage
    Can smelling sewage cause health problems? I currently work in a building where there is a loud sewage smell in the hallways and offices. Can this smell cause any problem, health related?

    Not sure what you meant with "... a loud sewage smell ." Sewer smells can be hazardous and need to be repaired. First ask your main tainence dep what is being done or ask your boss. If they are not responsive you should call the local health department. Good sewer systems protect your health, bad ones endanger your health.
