View Slide Show

Close
Answer:
Humans produce roughly 500 litres of urine and 50 litres of faeces per person per year. These contain about 4 kg of nitrogen, 0.5 kg of phosphorous and 1 kg of potassium, the three basic elements for plant growth. The exact amount varies from region to region depending on food intake. Seventy per cent of the nutrients excreted by humans are in the urine fraction.
