This GitHub repo provides the underlying source data for the Nationwide Wastewater Monitoring Network data visualizations at biobot.io/data. We provide both Biobot-generated wastewater SARS-CoV-2 concentrations and the associated clinical data used as comparison.
Biobot's data is the largest publicly available dataset on SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in wastewater.
We first launched a pro bono campaign to monitor COVID-19 in wastewater across the United States in March 2020, in collaboration with the Alm lab at MIT (Wu et al., 2020) (Wu et al., 2021) In June 2020, we transitioned to a full-service offering and currently have over 200 participating locations regularly monitoring SARS-CoV-2 wastewater concentrations in their communities on a weekly or monthly basis. As a result of this effort, we have generated a wastewater SARS-CoV-2 dataset consisting of nearly 20,000 samples.
