Sewage poses a very significant threat to human health.  However, the severity of the health threat depends on the content of the sewage and the degree and extent of penetration into the building environment.  The degree of penetration is dependent on the
porosity of contaminated materials, the quantity of sewage, and the amount of time the sewage remains in contact with materials.  

Consider three examples of sewage spilling into an indoor environment; the restoration response may be different in each situation.

Organic matter and water-saturated materials can be used as substrate for growth of microorganisms (such as gram-negative bacteria and toxigenic fungi) that can produce substances toxic to humans and damaging to materials.  A large amount of water inside a building will cause high humidity, which can also contribute to microbial growth on structural materials and contents.
