Systematic and day-to-day effects of chemical-derived population estimates on wastewater-based drug epidemiology

F. Y. LAI ; S. ANUJ ; R. BRUNO ; S. CARTER ; C. GARTNER ; W. HALL ; K. P. KIRKBRIDE ; J. F. MUELLER ; J. W. O'BRIEN ; J. PRICHARD ; P. K. THAI ; C. ORT | 2015
Dans Environmental Science and Technology (Vol.49, n°2, January 20, 2015) Article : Périodique

Population size is crucial when estimating population-normalized drug consumption (PNDC) from wastewater-based drug epidemiology (WBDE). Three conceptually different population estimates can be used: de jure (common census, residence), de facto [...]
