Substitutes for Toxic Portable Toilet Chemicals

[Amaranth]

Does anyone know what are the toxic chemicals that are used in portable toilets such as are often used at large events or construction sites?

Are there any less toxic portable potty systems?

Note--already aware of regular outhouses and composting toilets. This thread is not about those.

the chemicals that are commonly used are often containing chemicals such as formaldehyde, petroleum distillates and lots of harmful stuff.......here's some info for saner products:

There are companies that specialize in providing environmentally safer portable toilet systems....if you just Google on something like Non toxic chemicals for portable toilets or environmentally friendly portable toilets, you'll find them.

If I ever make a post saying I've come down with nasal cancer (one of the bad side effects from the chemicals in commercial toilets) you'll know it was because of all the port-o-potties I've used over 15 years of doing art shows.
