Abstract
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a vital tool for public health surveillance, offering non-invasive, real-time insights into community health. It effectively monitors SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks, tracks viral spread and emerging variants, and provides objective data on illicit drug use patterns for public health interventions. WBE also extends to assessing pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and environmental pollution indicators. While facing implementation challenges globally, particularly in low-income countries, WBE’s capacity for early detection and comprehensive population-level assessment positions it as a key component for future public health strategies.
