The session provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of using wastewater surveillance to monitor SARS-CoV-2 along with the virus variants circulating in the population.

Key objectives:
• The main goal is to maximize the potential of Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE) to ensure One Health approach by monitoring other pathogens, human exposure to environmental contaminants, biomarkers and antimicrobial resistance.
