    Total phosphorus in human excrement is 0.6 kg, with half (0.3 kg) in urine and half in feces. Given a single apartment produces 1 L of urine daily and uses 80 L of water, the concentration of phosphorus in the 81 L of total wastewater discharged is calculated to be 7,407.4 mg/L.

    Given that 50% of phosphorus in human excrement in found in urine (the remaining 50%
    is found in feces). Firstly, we have to find out how much the total mass of phosphorous
    present in feces and Urine. Assume X is the total mass of phosphorous in feces and urine.

    i.e., 0.50 X= 0.30 kg of phosphorous

    0.30 kg
    X=
    0.50

    = 0.60 kg P

    Therefore, total mass of phosphorous in feces and urine is 0.60 kg P

    Given if indoor water usage is 80 gallons per day in a single individual apartment and
    humans produce 1 L of urine per day.

    0.60 kg P 1000 g 1000 mg


    = [ Convert kg/L into mg/L ]
    (80+1) L 1kg 1g

    0.60 106

    81
    mg P
    = 7407.40
    L

    Therefore, the concentration (in mg P/L) in the wastewater that is discharged from the
    mg P
    apartment unit is 7407.40
    L
