Abstract

This document is an editorial from the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science titled "Developments in managing emerging pollutants in natural waters: a focus on low- and middle-income regions." The editorial highlights the global issue of inadequate wastewater treatment, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, which leads to the release of emerging pollutants (EPs) into natural water bodies. EPs include various substances such as surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics, which can have adverse effects on the environment and human health. The editorial emphasizes the need for improved regulation, control, and treatment technologies to address this problem. The document also provides an overview of the articles included in the research topic, which cover topics such as the presence of EPs in drinking water, groundwater quality, and alternative methods for pollutant removal. The editorial concludes by suggesting future research directions and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure clean water resources for all communities.

Abstract

For the first time, we present, i) an account of decay in the genetic material loading of SARS-CoV-2 during Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) treatment of wastewater, and ii) comparative evaluation of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and ultrafiltration as virus concentration methods from wastewater for the quantification of SARS-CoV-2 genes. The objectives were achieved through tracking of SARS-CoV-2 genetic loadings i.e. ORF1ab, N and S protein genes on 8th and 27th May 2020 along the wastewater treatment plant (106000 m3 million liters per day) equipped with UASB system in Ahmedabad, India. PEG method performed better in removing materials inhibiting RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 gene detection from the samples, as evident from constant and lower CT values of control (MS2). Using the PEG method, we found a reduction >1.3 log10 reduction in SARS-CoV-2 RNA abundance during UASB treatment, and the RNA was not detected at all in the final effluent. The study implies that i) conventional wastewater treatment systems is effective in SARS-CoV-2 RNA removal, and ii) UASB system significantly reduces SARS-CoV-2 genetic loadings. Finally, PEG method is recommended for better sensitivity and inhibition removal during SARS-CoV-2 RNA quantification in wastewater., QC 20201203
