How sick can someone get for breathing in sewage smells?

Nausea: Smelling sewer will not make you sick just nauseous.

Bad odors: In my opinion this would be more of a problem of air pollution and its effect on people with breathing disorders like asthma and emphysema. Otherwise it's just the unpleasantness of breathing in very bad odors which could make some people nauseated.
