Absence of virological and epidemiological evidence that SARS-CoV-2 poses COVID-19 risks from environmental fecal waste, wastewater and water exposures

Mark D. Sobsey

Summary: There is no evidence to suggest that infectious SARS-CoV-2 is present in environmental fecal wastes or waters, and there is no sufficient epidemiological evidence linking these exposure media to COVID-19 infection and illness.

Nudge strategies for behavior-based prevention and control of neglected tropical diseases: A scoping review and ethical assessment

Fiona Vande Velde et al.

Summary: The scoping review identified 33 relevant studies, with the majority of nudge strategies targeting handwashing behavior and general health practices. Most nudges presented moderate to high ethical standards. Future research should focus on exploring opportunities for applying nudges to target neglected tropical diseases specifically, and implement robust study designs to better understand their effectiveness.

Perspective on Land Treatment and Wastewater Reuse for Agriculture in the Western United States

Ron Crites et al.

Summary: The practice of irrigation with municipal wastewater has evolved from avoidance of surface water pollution to beneficial reuse of water and nutrients for crop production. Despite technological advancements and successful practices demonstrating the safety of recycled water, there are still impediments to the widespread reuse of recycled water for agricultural irrigation.
