Bacteria Pet Waste Pet waste contains harmful fecal coliform bacteria, nutrients, and ammonia that can be washed into waterbodies after a storm if it is not picked up. These pollutants pose a health risk to humans and are not filtered in wastewater treatment centers (like human waste is); the polluted stormwater runoff goes directly to the waterbodies. You wouldn't want to swim in dog poop, so why not pick it up and help keep out waters clean? What You Can Do
