New Resource on Wastewater-based Disease Surveillance Available

May 23, 2023 | Anu Varma

Wastewater-based disease surveillance was a useful tool for monitoring and anticipating incidence of COVID-19 over the past three years. How can the technology be used to inform public health during future disease outbreaks? The National Academies has a new digital resource available that explores the science behind wastewater surveillance, how it was used during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it could be used to monitor and anticipate future disease outbreaks. Adapted from the 2023 report, Wastewater-based Disease Surveillance for Public Health Action, this interactive webpage is accessible to individuals that might just be learning about wastewater surveillance, while also containing a wealth of information for experts and researchers. Explore the interactive webpage now: https://bit.ly/wws-interactive.

The 2023 report was the outcome of a study commissioned by the National Association of County and City Health Officials.
