Overview

Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education, Wastewater Monitoring for Public Health, 5/6/2022 12:00:00 PM - 5/6/2023 12:00:00 PM, Internet Enduring Material sponsored by Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by Stanford University School of Engineering. Municipal wastewater is a biological sample of an entire community. Wastewater has been tapped as an epidemiological tool to gauge aspects of public health, such as infection rates of viral and bacterial diseases. COVID-19 has accelerated the interest in wastewater-based epidemiology due to the fact that SARS-CoV-2 genes are detected in the feces of many infected individuals. This presentation includes a discussion with Ali Boehm from Stanford School of Engineering and Marlene Wolfe of Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. They share their journey into how wastewater-based epidemiology may be useful for informing public health and local government response to viral diseases like COVID-19.
