Webinar: Mass spectrometry in Wastewater-based epidemiology for the determination of small and large molecules as biomarkers of exposure – needs for Covid-19 testing with Environmental Proteomics
Thursday November 11 at 12:00 p.m.
Talk is given by Damia Barcelo , director of ICRA and professor of Research at IDAEA-CSIC.
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) estimates collective consumption or exposure to chemical substances or pathogens by monitoring the substances excreted in the population’s wastewater. WBE is generally applied using mass spectrometry (MS) and provides a fingerprint of the health risks, habits and lifestyle of the population served by a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
This presentation describes three applications of the WBE through EM: 1) Detection of small molecules as biomarkers, 2) Detection of large molecules as biomarkers, and 3) Detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins using high-resolution MS (HR-MS) and MALDI-TOF-MS.
