This conversion considers the flow of wastewater entering the treatment plant and the population in the wastewater catchment (please note that this will not necessarily be the same as the population of the town/city). [...] Receptor binding domain (RBD) – a small part of the Spike protein that is instrumental in the virus attaching to the ACE2 receptor, a protein found on the outside of many human cells. [...] This conversion considers the flow rate of wastewater entering the treatment plant (the influent) and the population in the catchment. [...] The flow rate is the total volume (m3 per day) recorded at the inlet of the wastewater treatment plant over 24 hours. [...] Limit of quantification: The lowest concentration of the target that can be reliably quantified is referred to as the limit of quantification.
