“…If this virus is not eradicated, we should think on further screening focusing on wastewater (Martínez-Puchol et al, 2020 -have recently published a paper dealing with related aspects), but also on sewage sludge (as shown by Nag et al, 2020 -evaluating survival of bacteria and viruses causing different diseases, as well as in previous papers, such as that by Zhao and Liu, 2019), soils and sediments (Katz et al, 2018;Nag et al, 2020;Zhao and Liu, 2019), crops (Ahmed et al, 2019;Nag et al, 2020;Zhao and Liu, 2019), animals (Pruvot et al, 2019), surface and ground-waters (Corsi et al, 2014;Givens et al, 2016). Further research should also focus on eventual technical treatments, including biosorbents and other materials to retain and/or inactive this and other pathogens circulating in these environmental compartments, before and after going out from wastewater treatment plants (in case of these treatment systems existing, as it could be worse, with spreading of untreated wastes).…”

“…Molecular detection of the virus has been proposed using paper-based tools in wastewater samples ( Ahmed et al., 2020 ; Lodder and de Roda Husman, 2020 ; Mao et al., 2020 ). The use of specific and effective techniques such as bio-sorbents is recommended to inactivate and control its environmental spread ( Martínez-Puchol et al., 2020 ; Nag et al., 2020 ; Núñez-Delgado, 2020 ).…”

In recent months, the presence of an emerging disease of infectious etiology has paralyzed everyone, already being a public health problem due to its high rate of infection, a life-threatening disease. The WHO has named it COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV2). New studies provide information of the role of the environment in COVID-19 transmission process, mortality related to this infectious disease and the impact on human health. The following review aims to analyze information on the implications of COVID-19 infection on human health and the impact of its presence on the environment, from its transmission capacity and the role of air pollutants and climatological factors to reducing the air pollution during confinement. Likewise, it provides a vision of the impact on the environment and human health of exposure to disinfectants and the presence of COVID-19 in wastewater, among other actions.

“…In addition, we could highlight selected references dealing with other viruses in sewage sludge, namely the papers by Bibby and Peccia (2013) , Nag et al (2020) and Martínez-Puchol et al (2020) , as well as other references for papers focusing on viruses in soils, specifically Kimura et al (2008) , Gutiérrez and Buchy (2012) (dealing with epidemic viruses), Williamson et al (2017) , and Kuzyakov and Mason-Jones (2018) . These papers would be an additional aid for those researchers trying to develop specific methods for SARS-Cov-2 and/or related viruses in samples from soil environments.…”
