Скачать или смотреть Using wastewater to monitor the nation’s health: onwards from COVID-19 | NERC Impact Awards 2023

A team led by Professor Davey Jones at ‪@bangoruniversity‬ used their expertise to monitor the prevalence of COVID-19, at one point covering 80% of the UK population through wastewater monitoring.

The monitoring system played a crucial role in shaping national policy during the pandemic.

The system has since been adapted to measure many other diseases of public health concern in the UK and globally.

The team received the Overall Impact Award at the NERC Impact Awards 2023, which shine a spotlight on the UK science at the heart of the responsible management of our planet. The awards celebrate NERC-funded scientists, as individuals or teams, whose work has had a big impact on the environment, economy or society.
