From National Wastewater Surveillance System site:
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CDC launched the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) in September 2020. CDC developed NWSS to coordinate and build the nation’s capacity to track the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in wastewater samples collected across the country.
CDC’s NWSS works with health departments to track SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater so communities can act quickly to prevent the spread of COVID-19. NWSS is transforming independent local efforts into a robust, sustainable national surveillance system...
-Researchers at Columbia University found that two-thirds of US drinking water systems have elevated levels of uranium
-Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, and lung cancer have all been tied to uranium exposure
-Elevated levels of arsenic, barium, chromium, selenium were found in many drinking water systems around the country as well
