Wastewater analysis of chemical markers of public health concern at small spatial scales: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Wastewater analysis is a promising approach to obtaining population-based health information. It has proven useful for different applications, including monitoring illicit drugs or assessing population-level exposure to chemicals. Studies have often analysed samples from wastewater treatment plants, which does not allow for small-scale intra-sewershed differentiations needed for a detailed assessment of the target population. The small-scale approach offers various benefits, but a comprehensive review of its application to chemicals has not yet been undertaken. This scoping review aims to provide a detailed overview of the current knowledge on wastewater analysis of chemical markers of public health concern, including methodological aspects. We conducted a systematic database search for pe
