SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in water and wastewater: A critical review about presence and concern

Hai Nguyen Tran et al.

Summary: The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in water and wastewater is primarily through patients' stools and masks, while disinfection is effective in inactivating most coronaviruses. However, the survival period of coronaviruses in water varies depending on several factors.

Why does SARS-CoV-2 survive longer on plastic than on paper?

Denis E. Corpet

Summary: Studies show that the Covid-19 coronavirus is inactivated faster on paper surfaces compared to plastic. Moreover, the virus may be shielded by long-persisting micro-droplets of water on waterproof surfaces, suggesting the importance of surface characteristics in virus persistence and elimination.

Municipal solid waste management during COVID-19 pandemic: effects and repercussions

Mahmood Yousefi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted waste quantity and management, especially in waste recycling, medical waste management, and infectious disease control. Recognizing these issues is key to planning municipal solid waste management more efficiently and reducing the risk of virus transmission through waste.

Plastisphere enrich antibiotic resistance genes and potential pathogenic bacteria in sewage with pharmaceuticals

Zhiqi Wang et al.

Summary: Microplastics and pharmaceuticals are common emerging pollutants in sewage, and their coexistence may have more negative effects on the environments. This study found that on plastic biofilms, antibiotic resistance genes and multidrug resistance genes were enriched, potentially accelerating the spread of these resistance genes, while potential pathogenic bacteria were also found to accumulate on the biofilms.

Survival of human enteric and respiratory viruses on plastics in soil, freshwater, and marine environments

Vanessa Moresco et al.

Summary: Plastics and microplastics in the environment can serve as a habitat for pathogenic bacteria and fungi, known as the 'plastisphere,' which may enhance the adhesion, survival, and dissemination of human pathogenic viruses, potentially leading to more effective transfer and transmission of viral diseases within the environment.

First detection of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in the vicinity of COVID-19 isolation Centre in Bangladesh: Variation along the sewer network

Firoz Ahmed et al.

Summary: The study successfully detected SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in the vicinity wastewaters of an isolation centre in Southeastern Bangladesh, with accumulation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the main sewer observed. The findings suggest that monitoring major drains may illustrate the health status of the city, eliminating the need to monitor every wastewater system.

Facemasks: A Looming Microplastic Crisis

Janith Dissanayake et al.

Summary: Single-use disposable facemasks are being dumped into water bodies, potentially releasing microplastic fibers into the environment and affecting various ecosystems. A preliminary study in South Korea found that surgical and KF94 standard facemasks released the highest number of microplastic fibers, with one mask capable of releasing up to 47 microplastic fibers per day. Moreover, prolonged agitation time led to a significant increase in the number of released microplastic fibers.

Evaluating the Environmental Impacts of Personal Protective Equipment Use by the General Population during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study of Lombardy (Northern Italy)

Gilberto Binda et al.

Summary: The widespread use of personal protective equipment (PPE) due to the COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about plastic pollution. A study conducted in Lombardy region highlighted the negative effects of excessive PPE use, including higher waste management costs and potential environmental threats like increased microplastics in water bodies. Recommendations were made for careful selection of COVID-19 containment measures to minimize environmental impact from disposable PPE use.
