“Fresh”
When I was first informed that this was possible, it was suggested as a way to get breathable air if your city suffered a gas attack or similar.
Wouldn’t the gas still seep into the sewers in that case?

Toilets don’t get their air from the sewers. There’s actually an air hole at the top of the house to let air into the pipes so that they don’t produce negative pressure.

Learned that from a plumbing guy who told me that it’s actually a noob mistake diy guys often make to forget that hole.
