#Wastewater
Hello, it is the (slightly delayed) weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.
A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.
The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels is on a nice downward trend, finally. The last data is from 10/7.
WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at

Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said that while the volume of raw sewage discharged daily in Ireland from #wastewater plants has halved since the start of last year, close to three fifths (59%) of water discharged from said plans failed to consistently meet EPA standards. 🇮🇪

phew - the beach where i swim the most in hilo (moku ola, aka coconut island) is apparently the cleanest of the 5 hilo beaches tracked by the org hawai'i wai ola. yay!
in my wastewater classes i've been learning a lot about how much cesspool waste flows into hilo bay. we also had a presentation by a lady who owns a septic pumping company (the horror stories!!!) and she says she doesn't allow her kids to swim in hilo AT ALL.
anyway, the below graphics are from hawai'i wai ola's 2024 water quality report card (PDF): https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c43039e3c3a53c04e1aa171/t/6695edaa59321b4130199739/1721101749192/July+2024+HWO+Hilo+Report+Card+%28Final%29.pdf
pic 1 shows the water quality of the 5 hilo beaches they tracked, and pic 2 has the legend for the various symbols in pic 1.
you can learn more about the beach monitoring done by hawai'i wai ola here: https://www.hawaiiwaiola.com/data

This is insanity:
"Are there existing #EPA approved methods for detecting #mifepristone & its active metabolites in water supplies?”
"there are currently no #EPA approved methods for identifying #mifepristone in #wastewater "
"water supplies" are *not* "waste water"
What moral panic has the far-right forced-birth crowd invented now?
That somehow George Soros and antifa are sneaking mifepristone into drinking water?
Scientists who specialize in chemical detection told the senior officials that there are currently no #EPA approved methods for identifying #mifepristone in #wastewater — but that new methods could be developed….

Senior ofcls at the #EPA directed scientists over the summer to assess whether the #government could develop methods for detecting traces of #abortion pills in #wastewater — a practice sought by anti-abortion activists seeking to restrict the #medication.
The request originated from a letter sent from 25 #Republican members of #Congress to #LeeZeldin, #Trump’s EPA administrator, asking the agency to investigate how #mifepristone might be *contaminating* the water supply.
The #Trump #EPA Followed Up on an Unusual Request About #Abortion Pills
Scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency found that they could develop methods to identify traces of the #medication in #wastewater — a practice long sought by the anti-abortion movement.

Metro Vancouver wastewater COVID surveillance data was published October 9. The most recent test was September 28. #covid #covid19 #wastewater #vancouver #yvr
I just realized that I totally spaced on yesterday's weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. My apologies, it's been ... a week.
A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.
OK, first up, the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels has been sawtoothing around, and is currently on a downward trend, albeit at a high-ish level. The last data is from 9/30.
WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica.
