    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) In theory, when raw sewage is released into aquatic ecosystems, the short term impact include emergence of algae blooms, especially the toxic ones, which thrive in such polluted waters, taking advantage of the high nutrient loadings/levels, with resultant aquatic biodiversity losses due to competition for oxygen characterized by suffocation and, in certain instances, death of animal biota such as fish. In addition, semi-treated and untreated sewage has deleterious effect on the health and integrity of aquatic ecosystem in terms of reduced water quality for sensitive biota, thus resulting in death and/or migration. In addition, the long term impacts include bioaccumulation of toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury whose levels should not exceed acceptable FAO standards of 0.02, 0.05 and 0.50 mg/kg, respectively. Accumulation of these heavy metals"
