The significant issue affecting wastewater treatment is human faeces containing SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2, as a novel coronavirus, has expanded globally. While the current focus on the COVID-19 epidemic is rightly on preventing direct transmission, the risk of secondary transmission via wastewater should not be overlooked. Many researchers have demonstrated various methods and tools for preventing and declining this virus in wastewater treatment, especially for SARS-CoV-2 in human faeces. This research reports two people tested for 30 d, with written consent, at Mosa-Ebne-Jafar Hospital of Quchan, Iran, from September 1st to October 9th, 2021. The two people's conditions are the same. The Hyssop plant was used, which boosts the immune system's effectiveness and limonene, rosemary, caffeic acids and flavonoids, all biologically active compounds in this plant, cause improved breathing problems, colds, and especially for SARS-CoV-2. As a result, utilising the Hyssop plant can help in reducing SARS-CoV-2 in faeces. This plant's antioxidant properties effectively reduce SARS-CoV-2 in faeces by 30%; nevertheless, depending on the patient's condition. This plant is also beneficial for respiratory and digestive health.
影响废水处理的一个重要问题是含有 SARS-CoV-2 的人类粪便。SARS-CoV-2 作为一种新型冠状病毒,在全球范围内迅速传播。虽然目前对 COVID-19 疫情的关注重点是预防直接传播,但不应忽视通过废水进行二次传播的风险。许多研究人员已经展示了各种在废水处理中预防和降低这种病毒的方法和工具,特别是针对人类粪便中的 SARS-CoV-2。本研究报告了 2021 年 9 月 1 日至 10 月 9 日,伊朗库切安 Mosa-Ebne-Jafar 医院对 2 名接受测试的人员进行了为期 30 天的测试,他们都签署了书面同意书。这 2 个人的情况相同。使用了牛膝草,它能增强免疫系统的有效性,并且柠檬烯、迷迭香、咖啡酸和类黄酮,这些都是这种植物中的生物活性化合物,可改善呼吸问题、感冒,尤其是对 SARS-CoV-2。因此,使用牛膝草可以帮助减少粪便中的 SARS-CoV-2。这种植物的抗氧化特性可有效减少粪便中的 SARS-CoV-2 达 30%;然而,这取决于患者的情况。这种植物对呼吸和消化健康也有益处。
