How Sewers Could Track COVID-19
from The Outfall Podcast · host The Outfall
In this story episode of The Outfall, we talk to two researchers on the front lines of using wastewater to analyze the epidemiology of a community. Wastewater surveillance for the Coronavirus has huge potential. Data suggests that each person infected will excrete millions, if not billions of viral genomes into the wastewater per day. We learn more about why this research is so important, what is going on now, and what the future of this research looks like. Thanks again to our guests: Dr. Sean Norman, Associate professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of South Carolina. Learn more here. Dr. Ian Pepper, Environmental Microbiologists at the University of Arizona. Learn more here.
