Wastewater-based Epidemiology for the Assessment of Human Exposure to Environmental Pollutants discusses wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) and its use in 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 examines the application of wastewater-based epidemiology in determining health risk and exposure to infectious diseases 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.
- Presents evidence mapping to identify emerging areas in wastewater-based epidemiology studies
- Offers expansion and diversification strategies in pandemic conditions to serve immediate public health goals
- Explains the surveillance of the spread of pathogens through wastewater
Toxicologists, analytical and environmental chemists, environmental scientists, epidemiologists, public health professionals. government policy makers; healthcare professionals in disease control
