Wastewater-Based Epidemiology for the Assessment of Human Exposure to Environmental Pollutants

Wastewater-based Epidemiology for the Assessment of Human Exposure to Environmental Pollutants discusses wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) and its use in the risk assessment and monitoring of human exposure to hazardous pollutants and pathogens. The book explores the health impacts of organic and inorganic pollutants from pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, phthalates, personal care products, and endocrine disruptors in the wastewater environment. The book also examines the application of wastewater-based epidemiology in determining the health risk and exposure to infectious disease caused by viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, parasites, and bacteria. Other topics include detection techniques, sampling techniques, analytical methods, biomarkers, and the use of biosensors in wastewater-based epidemiology studies. Discusses the detection and analytical determination of biological agents (including SARS-CoV-2) and emerging trace contaminants in wastewater Covers the health risks of human exposure to contaminants and pathogens Examines the use of biosensors in wastewater quality monitoring INDICE: 1.
