Understanding Community Health by Analyzing Wastewater. Evaluating wastewater contaminants can enable a community to understand drug consumption, from antibiotics to illegal substances, and even diet. Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a cost‐ and time-effective monitoring tool. The contributed chapters cover the methodological challenges and applications of wastewater-based epidemiology. In addition to public health professionals, wastewater and chemical engineers, students, educators, and administrators will find these topics useful.
