One of the 'torpedoes,' or samplers, used to collect wastewater at McGill University residences to test for COVID-19.
Since September, the university has been testing wastewater coming from its student residences to get a better sense of the scale of the pandemic on campus and to help administrators adjust measures based on results. "Especially now that testing rates have been dropping and people are trying to get back to a situation that is as close to normal as possible, this is a time where wastewater testing has a lot of value," said Stephanie Loeb, one of the civil engineering professors leading the project."We call it a torpedo," said Loeb, holding up a 3D printed plastic sampler.
Monitoring the consecutive days of positivity allows the university to apply different measures at its residences through"We can actually have an impact on [student] activity if we see something that is going wrong," said Fabrice Labeau, the university's deputy provost of student life and learning.Stephanie Loeb is an assistant professor of civil engineering at McGill, and one of the leaders of the wastewater project.
