0:05 - 0:08Well, I must say it was the time
-
0:08 - 0:11when we had to open up grease interceptors.
-
0:11 - 0:13And grease interceptors are these tanks
-
0:13 - 0:16that they are underground
-
0:16 - 0:17that all the food waste
-
0:17 - 0:19coming from a restaurant would go into,
-
0:19 - 0:22and it's supposed to trap grease and food particles.
-
0:22 - 0:24And we had to open these manholes
-
0:24 - 0:28and extract samples from these grease interceptors.
-
0:28 - 0:29And we had to do one
-
0:29 - 0:32where we had to monitor it for 24 hours,
-
0:32 - 0:37and it was really quite difficult working conditions.
-
0:37 - 0:40But we realized it was very important to do this
-
0:40 - 0:42because we had to understand what was happening
-
0:42 - 0:44inside these grease receptors,
-
0:44 - 0:45so that we could understand the fate
-
0:45 - 0:48of a lot of contaminants that entered the sewer systems,
-
0:48 - 0:50and the wastewater treatment plants,
-
0:50 - 0:52and eventually our rivers and lakes.
