Wastewater-Based Epidemiology: Estimation of Community Consumption of Drugs and Diets

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.
