QAEHS Director Prof Kevin Thomas helped lead the SCORE collaboration with 41 international institutions including the University of South Australia, analysing the drug levels in the largest world-wide wastewater-based study undertaken.

It’s also wonderful to see wastewater analysis being applied in so many countries."
