Wastewater-based epidemiology is a tool incorporating biomarker analysis that can be used to monitor the health status of a population. Indicators of health include endogenous oxidative stress biomarkers and hormones, or exogenous such as alcohol and nicotine. 8-Iso-prostaglandin F is a biomarker of endogenous metabolism that can be used to measure oxidative stress in a community.

Article Synopsis
- Evaluating the excretion and environmental impact of lipophilic drugs, specifically cannabis compounds, in wastewater is complex due to their presence in faeces and urine.
- A study involving cannabis and non-cannabis users analyzed faecal and urine samples for chemical markers like THC and CBD using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
- The findings indicated rapid equilibrium between faeces and water, revealing that different cannabis metabolites have varying levels of solubility, impacting their detection in wastewater.
A method and its application to determine the amount of cannabinoids in sewage sludge and biosolids.

Xenobiotic cannabinoids (phyto and synthetic) are highly lipophilic compounds and have been shown to accumulate within the particulate fraction of wastewater. Limited research has been conducted to investigate the occurrence of cannabinoids in sewage sludge and/or biosolids. The analysis of excreted cannabinoids from sewage sludge or biosolids can provide information about community health, as well as potentially long-term environmental impacts.

Wastewater-based epidemiology studies use catchment populations to normalise chemical marker mass loads in 24-h composite wastewater samples. However, one of the biggest uncertainties within the field is the accuracy of the population used. A population marker in wastewater may significantly reduce the uncertainty.
