Not to stir the pot but Toxed2loss just stated;
"It became a chronic health problem when we started drawing air back through the sewer vents for exhaust fans".
As a homebuilder for over 30 years, unless I misread the plumbing codes, all bathroom vents must contain a P-trap that holds water, that will prevent any sewer gases from entering the home. Most homes have P-traps under each sink, they are at the base of the toilets and under the shower and tub drains. Plus, there is usually another P-trap under the slab before the vent heads up to exit the roof.
So, I don't think the exhaust fan can pull air through the drains/vents in the home. Cracking a door or window for exhaust air is a good idea. Most people don't realize that after a shower they leave about a quart of water on bathroom walls that needs to be exhausted to keep the bathroom dry and mold free. Just my 2 cents.
