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[...]

Sewage-based epidemiology in monitoring the use of new psychoactive substances: Validation and application of an analytical method using LC-MS/MS

J. KINYUA ; A. COVACI ; W. MAHO ; A. K. McCALL ; H. NEELS ; A. L. N. VAN NUIJS | 2015
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[...]
