Impact of treatment plant management on human health and ecological risks from wastewater irrigation in developing countries - case studies from Cochabamba, Bolivia

Claudia Cossio et al.

Summary: This study assessed how the management status of five small-scale WWTPs in Cochabamba, Bolivia affects health risks associated with consumption of lettuce and ecological risks due to the accumulation of nutrients in the soil for lettuce and maize crops. It found that weak O&M practices can increase risk outcomes, while improving O&M can reduce human health risks and ecological risks.

Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater as an epidemiological surveillance tool in Mendoza, Argentina

Maximiliano Giraud-Billoud et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an emerging tool that provides temporal and spatial information on a population's health status. By combining WBE with epidemiological surveillance, researchers were able to track the dynamics of COVID-19 infections, showing a positive correlation between viral load in wastewater and diagnosed cases. WBE proves to be a useful epidemiological indicator for anticipating COVID-19 case increases and monitoring the pandemic's progress and different waves of infections.

Acute riverine microplastic contamination due to avoidable releases of untreated wastewater

Jamie Woodward et al.

Summary: The authors discuss how untreated wastewater containing microplastics and raw sewage is discharged into UK rivers, causing severe contamination of river beds and threatening biodiversity and habitats. Climate change and urbanization will exacerbate the microplastic pollution in river ecosystems, as summer flows decrease and wastewater discharges increase.

An integrated approach for phycoremediation of municipal wastewater and production of sustainable transportation fuel using oleaginous Chlorella sp.

Richa Katiyar et al.

Summary: The increase in urban population is putting more pressure on water and energy systems, leading to the release of harmful pollutants into natural ecosystems. Through the study of two Chlorella species, it was found that Chlorella sorokiniana grown in wastewater had higher lipid content and produced biodiesel with physical properties that exceeded existing standards in the USA and Europe.
