Human Waste Could Help the Fight Against Future Infectious Disease Outbreaks
24 March 2022, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Rostock: Holger Stählke, plant engineer, shows a collection container at Nordwasser during the automatic sampling of wastewater for the samples that will be tested for corona viruses, among other things. After Nordwasser was awarded the contract for the Germany-wide project "Systematic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater" in February 2022, regular sampling is now beginning. It is hoped that the test results will enable trends in the incidence of infection to be identified at an early stage.
