Detection of Coronavirus RNA in Wastewater and Hospital Wastewater Characteristics

Yalda Hashempour's dataset on figshare contains measurements of new coronavirus RNA in wastewater samples, along with characteristics of hospital wastewaters. The dataset is stored in a 17.5 KB XLS file and was last updated on April 30, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 community prevalence based on wastewater RNA concentrations.
• Comparing viral load in hospital wastewater versus general wastewater based on sample characteristics.
• Assessing environmental persistence of coronavirus RNA based on wastewater sample data.
• Modeling public health risk from hospital effluents based on wastewater characteristics.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 17.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
