Find Out Why Your Waste Could Make You A Millionaire Soon…Human Waste Is Treasure

Who, in their right mind, ever thought human waste could be as precious as it has been discovered recently? It something we take to the lavatories, send them down with much hate and displeasure, zip up, tighten our belts and walk out like we have done nothing.

However, a study carried out recently, if at all it is to be believed, will leave you wondering why you did not know this in advance.

Experts who conducted the study say that human feces contain gold and other precious metals that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars and retrieving the gold and precious metals will help reduce the effects of global warming and pollution.

“The gold we found was at the level of a minimal mineral deposit,” said Kathleen Smith, of the US Geological Survey, after her team discovered metals such as platinum, silver and gold in treated waste.

“There are metals everywhere — in your hair care products, detergents, even nanoparticles that are put in socks to prevent bad odours.”

Smith and her team are on a mission to find out exactly what is in our waste.

“We have a two-pronged approach. In one part of the study, we are looking at removing some regulated metals from the biosolids that limit their use for land application.”

“In the other part of the project, we’re interested in collecting valuable metals that could be sold, including some of the more technologically important metals, such as vanadium and copper that are in cell phones, computers and alloys,” said Smith.

The findings were presented at the 249th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society, taking place in Denver through Thursday.
