MU researchers use wastewater testing to detect delta variant

MISSOURI − As the delta variant travels across Missouri, COVID-19 cases are rapidly increasing, according to MU researchers. MU researchers are working with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on the Sewershed Surveillance Project to track COVID-19 cases through wastewater. University of Missouri professors Marc Johnson and Chung-Ho Lin have been tracking case numbers through wastewater and have noticed the delta variant throughout Missouri.  Missouri had the highest percentage of the delta variant at 29.1%, according to CDC data. Jeff Wenzel, Bureau Chief of the Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology at DHSS said the project is testing wastewater all across the state of Missouri.

Phytoremediation - an environmental approach in which trees and other plants are used to control leachate and treat polluted water and soil - hinges on matching the capability of different tree species with the types of contaminants present in soil and water. Identifying the worst contaminants within the dynamic conditions of a landfill has been challenging.
