TL;DR: A framework to test the faecal-oral hypothesis is proposed, unpacking the different environmental routes from faeces to the mouth of a susceptible person and should not be seen as a confirmation of the hypothesis but rather as an expanded view of its complexities.

TL;DR: In this article, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 was assessed using plaque assays following spiking of river water and raw wastewater samples with infectious SARS, which was previously isolated from a COVID-19 patient.

TL;DR: This study evaluated a UASB reactor followed by a HRAP in terms of sewage treatment efficiency and biogas production, during one year at demonstration-scale, and showed an overall removal of 65% COD and 61% N-NH4 in the system.

TL;DR: The present study evaluated the removal capacity of a UASB-HRAP treatment system, combining anaerobic and microalgae-based, aerobic treatment, for eleven organic micropollutants present in raw sewage, including pharmaceuticals, estrogens and xenoestrogens.

TL;DR: PHA production from biogas constitutes nowadays a realistic alternative to CHP in waste treatment plants and that PHA can be produced at a competitive market price whenBiogas is used for internal energy provision (4.2 €·kg-1 PHA).
