Poop U.: How Universities are Using Wastewater for COVID-19
from The Outfall Podcast · host The Outfall
In the spring, we published an episode where we talked to two researchers where they described how wastewater testing can act as a coronavirus early warning system. Since this show, this research has rocketed from a handful of labs at an unprecedented speed to many college campuses around the country as a frontline public health tool. Yes, wastewater was coming to the rescue. However, there was a problem. There was no official guidebook for implementing, using, or even communicating wastewater epidemiology on this scale. We talk to Clemson University, the University of South Carolina, and Susquehanna University about this remarkable effort. Learn more in the show notes.
