2021年污水流行病学热点回眸

 污水流行病学是调查人群消费化学物质/感染病原体和健康状况的一种有力和具有成本效益的工具，当前肆虐全球的新冠疫情推动了污水流行病学的迅速发展。从污水样品的采集、前处理及分析，物质的稳定性，校正因子的计算与不确定性分析，实施案例等方面盘点了2021年污水流行病学的重要研究及应用。

Advances in wastewater-based epidemiology in 2021

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a powerful and cost-effective tool for investigating chemicals consumption/pathogens infection and health status of populations, and is rapidly evolving as COVID-19 continues to ravage the world. This paper reviews the significant developments and breakthroughs of WBE in 2021 including collection, pretreatment and analysis of sewage samples, materials stability, correction factors calculation and uncertainty analysis, implementation cases and so on, based on the research findings published in international top academic journals or the most influential achievements. It provides reference for clarifying the development of WBE and promoting the research and application of WBE.
