Sumario:Wastewater-based epidemiology WBE has shown to be an innovative and promising tool for the estimation of community-wide health such as drugs, alcohol, and tobacco use in the past couple of decades since it was proposed in the beginning of 21 centuries. Since the first report from the Netherland in March 2020 on the presence of viral RNA fragment of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, WBE, also namely, wastewater surveillance, has been rapidly emerged as a new public health tool for the monitoring of pathogens to establish the early warning for the pandemic, which can provide the complementary data sets for the clinical testing. For example, viral RNA of SARS-CoV-2 can be monitored in the community at the early stage, effective measures can be taken as early as possible to minimize the pathogen spread.
