Wastewater-based epidemiology, which is the science of studying community sewage for public health information, is one method of getting information about community health and narcotics consumption. In an effort to prevent and reduce opioid misuse, the City of Tempe is working with scientists from Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute to study the city's wastewater. This feature layer view shows the testing results from wastewater collection areas which are comprised of merged public sewage drainage basins that flow to a shared testing location for the opioid wastewater study. The collection area testing data are provided by scientists from Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute. The wastewater is tested for the presence of prescription opioid parent drug compounds such as Fentanyl, Oxycodone, Codeine, the illegally made opioid parent drug compound Heroin and opioid metabolite drug compounds including Norfentanyl, 6-Acetylmorphine and Noroxycodone. Additional Information Source: Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute provided Excel document.
