Stability of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses in the environment and on common touch surfaces and the influence of climatic conditions: A review

Hamada A. Aboubakr et al.

Summary: Global efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 are unprecedented, yet confirmed cases are increasing rapidly. Effective preventive measures are urgently needed, focusing on understanding the virus's transmission routes, environmental stability, and persistence on various surfaces. SARS-CoV-2 may be transmitted through the air and poses potential risks of faecal-oral, foodborne, and waterborne transmission.

Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) of occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater treatment plants

Ayokunle Christopher Dada et al.

Summary: This study assessed the occupational health risks of wastewater treatment plant operators from inhalation of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 using a QMRA framework. Factors such as virus concentration, exposure doses, and various scenarios were considered. Results indicated that the risk of accidental occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in raw wastewater is negligible, particularly when the infection rate is less than 0.3% in the population served by the plant.

Early warning of COVID-19 via wastewater-based epidemiology: potential and bottlenecks

Yifan Zhu et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an important tool in the early warning system for COVID-19 pandemic, with the shedding dynamics of infected individuals and back-calculation of observed viral load being major bottlenecks. Optimal sampling strategy is crucial for the success of WBE projects.

Meteorological factors and COVID-19 incidence in 190 countries: An observational study

Cui Guo et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 incidence is significantly associated with temperature, with higher temperatures leading to lower incidence rates. Relative humidity and wind speed have a weaker impact on incidence. The research suggests that the spread of COVID-19 may slow down in summer but increase in winter.

Decay of SARS-CoV-2 RNA along the wastewater treatment outfitted with Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) system evaluated through two sample concentration techniques

Manish Kumar et al.

Summary: This study presents the decay in genetic material loading of SARS-CoV-2 during wastewater treatment, and evaluates PEG and ultrafiltration as virus concentration methods. The results indicate that the PEG method is more effective in removing inhibitory substances, and the UASB system significantly reduces the genetic loading of SARS-CoV-2.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater in Japan during a COVID-19 outbreak

Akihiko Hata et al.

Summary: The study in Japan found that SARS-CoV-2 RNA could be detected in wastewater samples, even at low numbers of confirmed cases, indicating the potential for early detection of impending outbreaks. This suggests that wastewater-based epidemiology may serve as an early warning system for COVID-19 outbreaks.

Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage and wastewater treatment plants in Mexico

Julian Carrillo-Reyes et al.

Summary: This study monitored the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in sewage in Mexico and found that the adsorption method yielded RNA levels two orders of magnitude higher than ultrafiltration. The results suggest that viral RNA becomes concentrated in activated sludge and support the removal of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater treatment plants.

Occurrence, fate and removal of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater: Current knowledge and future perspectives

Bhavini Saawarn et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in human excreta and wastewater, impacting wastewater treatment. Research aims to understand the fate of SARS-CoV-2 in the urban water cycle and its inactivation during treatment to prevent outbreaks. Further study of WBE technique is needed for reliable information, and the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in WWTPs depends on operational parameters and requires assessment of the risk of viral dissemination by treated effluent in the urban water cycle.
