Occurrence, transformation, bioaccumulation, risk and analysis of pharmaceutical and personal care products from wastewater: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 20(6), P. 3883 - 3904

Published: Aug. 17, 2022

Abstract Almost all aspects of society from food security to disease control and prevention have benefited pharmaceutical personal care products, yet these products are a major source contamination that ends up in wastewater ecosystems. This issue has been sharply accentuated during the coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19) due higher use disinfectants other products. Here we review with focus on their occurrence environment, detection, risk, removal.

The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is concerning for the health humans, animals, and environment in a One Health perspective. Assessments AMR associated environmental hazards mostly focus on parent compounds, while largely overlooking their transformation products (TPs). This review lists TPs identified surface water environments examines potential promotion, ecological risk, as well human using silico models.

Modeling the number of people infected with SARS-COV-2 from wastewater viral load in Northwest Spain

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 811, P. 152334 - 152334

Published: Dec. 16, 2021

The quantification of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in wastewater has emerged as a useful tool to monitor COVID–19 outbreaks community. This approach was implemented metropolitan area A Coruña (NW Spain), where from treatment plant analyzed track epidemic dynamics population 369,098 inhabitants. Viral detected and epidemiological data health system served main sources for statistical models developing. Regression described here allowed us estimate number infected people (R2 = 0.9), including symptomatic asymptomatic individuals. These have helped understand real magnitude at any given time been used an effective early warning predicting municipality. methodology present work could be develop similar wastewater-based model evolution anywhere world centralized water-based sanitation systems exist.

Model-based assessment of COVID-19 epidemic dynamics by wastewater analysis

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 827, P. 154235 - 154235

Published: March 1, 2022

Continuous surveillance of COVID-19 diffusion remains crucial to control its and anticipate infection waves. Detecting viral RNA load in wastewater samples has been suggested as an effective approach for epidemic monitoring the development warning system. However, quantitative link status stages outbreak is still elusive. Modelling thus address these challenges. In this study, we present a novel mechanistic model-based reconstruct complete dynamics from SARS-CoV-2 wastewater. Our integrates noisy data daily case numbers into dynamical epidemiological model. As demonstrated various regions sampling protocols, it quantifies numbers, provides indicators accurately infers future trends. Following analysis, also provide recommendations standards their use against new situations reduced testing capacity, our modelling can enhance early prediction robust cost-effective real-time local dynamics.
