What Your Sewer Can Tell You About the Way to Wellville Rolf Halden, PhD, PE Arjun Venkatesan, PhD November 19, 2014 POLL What is in the Sewer? •  Blackwater InformaHon regarding health, disease, diet etc. –  Fecal maSer and urine •  Greywater –  Wash basins, showers and bath –  Laundry, dish washers, kitchen sinks InformaHon regarding sustainability, chemical flows and inventories etc. •  Other sources –  Industrial –  Urban and agricultural runoff –  Stormwater Blackwater Tervahauta et al., Water 2014, 6(8), 2436-­‐2448 Greywater 5 Sewage Treatment Centralized sewer system Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Composite of enHre populaHon in the community 6 hSp://pixgood.com/school-­‐community-­‐clipart.html Sewage Epidemiology •  Usage rate of chemicals (e.g., drugs) in communiHes o 
ProporHonal to levels in raw sewage •  Economical and accessible epidemiological data •  Anonymous Mass of chemical/drugs Per capita = consumpHon PopulaHon Chemicals; drugs PopulaHon chemical use Urinary & fecal excreHon WWTP -­‐ Measurement of chemicals, drugs and metabolites 7 Biomarkers Biomarker Level

ConsumpNon/Exposure Food •  AdsorpHon •  DistribuHon •  Metabolism •  ExcreHon Life Style and Personal Care Products (Rx) Drugs Pathogens WWTP PopulaNon •  Biomarkers/chemicals proporHonal to populaHon usage and exposure •  Behavior, exposure, consumpHon etc. 9 Example Metrics and Biomarkers Metrics Diet Lifestyle Health Parameter Biomarkers and Proxies Fruits and vegetables Meat CigareSe smoking Alcohol ingesHon Illicit drugs Flavonoids CreaHnine Tobacco metabolites Ethanol and metabolites Cocaine, methamphetamine etc. Stress Diseases and illness Allergy Specific stress hormones Specific pharmaceuHcals, drugs and their metabolites AnHhistamines Environment Unsustainable chemicals Persistent and toxic chemicals in household and personal care products Indicators for Human metabolites of Urinary and fecal metabolites and other chemical body unsustainable chemicals bioaccumulaHve chemicals burden POLL 10 Sewage Sludge/ Biosolids PPCPs (59)

year) •  Biosolids composite prepared over one month –  Aliquots of daily sample mixed •  Ship samples to ASU 18 Sewage Analyses •  Immediate processing: Wellville Five –  Sample will be analyzed frequently •  Archived samples from greater Wellville communiHes –  Archived as part of the Human Health Observatory at ASU –  Analyses as soon as funding has been secured –  ReporHng of findings generated will be coordinated with community stakeholders to address privacy concerns and maintain anonymity of faciliHes, if desirable POLL 19 Sample QuesNonnaire Form Parameter
