A comparison between wastewater-based drug data and an illicit drug use survey in a selected community

J. H. P. VAN WEL ; J. KINYUA ; A. L. N. VAN NUIJS ; S. SALVATORE ; J. G. BRAMNESS ; A. COVACI ; G. VAN HAL | 2016
Dans International Journal of Drug Policy (Vol.34, August 2016) Article : Périodique

Background: Estimations of drug use are mostly based on population surveys that can suffer from response biases. The current study evaluates using wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) for assessing illicit drug use by comparing wastewater data wi[...]

Rapport

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is proving to be a promising tool to back-estimate illicit drug market sizes. Within the framework of the Sewage analysis CORe group Europe (SCORE) network, influent wastewater (IWW) samples were analysed for [...]

Qualitative screening for new psychoactive substances in wastewater collected during a city festival using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry

A. CAUSANILLES ; J. KINYUA ; C. RUTTKIES ; A. L. N. VAN NUIJS ; E. EMKE ; A. COVACI ; P. DE VOOGT | 2017
Dans Chemosphere (Vol.184, October 2017) Article : Périodique

The inclusion of new psychoactive substances (NPS) in the wastewater-based epidemiology approach presents challenges, such as the reduced number of users that translates into low concentrations of residues and the limited pharmacokinetics inform[...]

Dans Drug Testing and Analysis (Vol.7, n°9-10, September-October 2015) Article : Périodique

Sewage-based epidemiology (SBE) employs the analysis of sewage to detect and quantify drug use within a community. While SBE has been applied repeatedly for the estimation of classical illicit drugs, only few studies investigated new psychoactiv[...]
