In view of the current situation regarding the Covid-19 disease, a discussion is proposed on the need for research focusing on the presence and evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in water, soils and other environmental compartments, reached through wastewater and sewage sludge spreading. Also, the evaluation of current treatments for wastewater and sewage sludge, as well as the eventual development of new specific techniques, based on sorption, nanotechnology, etc., would be of great interest for controlling the environmental dissemination of these viruses in the current and eventual future outbreaks.
鉴于目前的新冠疫情情况,拟对以下问题进行讨论:需要研究新冠病毒在水中、土壤和其他环境介质中的存在和演变情况,研究途径为污水和污泥的扩散。此外,还需要评估当前的污水和污泥处理方法,以及最终开发基于吸附、纳米技术等的新的特定技术,以便在当前和未来的疫情爆发中控制这些病毒在环境中的传播。
