#3This isn't estimating drug abuse, it's estimating drug use. Wastewater measurements alone are not enough to determine how much of that use is harmful.

What about in relation to population density in a given area and estimated water use per person?

#5My mate works for a water treatment company, so he's regularly down the sewers doing stuff. His best ever comment was that he hates it in the rich towns cos the shit stinks vile. But in the poor towns it smells OK.
I had always thought all shit smells the same.

Clearly you don't know shit.
Dietary differences I guess? I'm sure there are scientists, especially in the wildlife area that specialize in the compounds in feces.

It can't distinguish low use by everybody vs. heavy use by a few. And some people may be harmed by low use, while others may be unharmed by heavy use.

My thought was maybe other things go down the drains that alter the chemistry? Cheap bleach vs expensive bleach? Hummus? Shampoo? Or maybe just a meat rich diet vs a more vegetarian diet of the poor folks.
He also said that in the pumping stations there are thousands of frogs and toads that have fallen into the road side drains and have been swept down the sewers. They get chewed up in the pumps.
