Abstract

The advent of acute respiratory coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is convoyed by the shedding of the virus in stool. Although inhalation from person-to-person and aerosol/droplet transmission are the main modes of SARS-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, currently available evidence indicates the presence of viral RNA in the sewerage wastewater, which highlights the need for more effective corona virus treatment options. In the existing COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial percentage of cases shed SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in their faeces. Hence the treating this sewerage wastewater with proper surveillance is essential to contain this deadly pathogen from further transmission. Since, the viral disinfectants will not be very effective on sewerage waste as organic matter, and suspended solids in water can protect viruses that adsorb to these particles. More effective methods and measures are needed to prevent this virus from spreading. This review will explore some potential methods to treat the SARS-CoV-2 infected sewerage wastewater, current research and future directions.

探索处理污水中SARS-CoV-2的可能策略:研究现状和未来方向综述

急性呼吸道冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的出现是由粪便中的病毒脱落带来的。虽然人与人之间的吸入和气溶胶/飞沫传播是SARS-CoV-2的主要传播方式，但目前现有证据表明，污水中存在病毒RNA，这突出表明需要更有效的冠状病毒治疗方案。在当前的COVID-19大流行中，相当大比例的病例在其粪便中排出了SARS-CoV-2病毒RNA。因此，对这些污水进行处理并进行适当的监测，对于遏制这种致命病原体的进一步传播至关重要。因为，作为有机物的病毒消毒剂对污水废物不会很有效，而水中悬浮的固体可以保护吸附在这些颗粒上的病毒。需要采取更有效的方法和措施来防止这种病毒的传播。本文就SARS-CoV-2感染的污水处理方法、研究现状及未来发展方向进行综述。
