Biography

When discussing the value of sewage, Denton records that Jean-Baptiste Boussingault, a chemist, demonstrated that a harvest of {{convert|800|lb}} of wheat and {{convert|900|lb}} of barley can be obtained from the nearly {{convert|16|lb}} of nitrogen an adult's body-waste produces yearly.[2] In addition, 9s (£{{formatnum:{{Inflation|UK|0.45|1885}}|0}} at present worth[3] as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}) was calculated by Dr. Augustus Voelcker, the consulting chemist for the Royal Agricultural Society of England, to be the annual value of ammonia and phosphates excreted per head.[4]

Honorary
