This paper aims to determine whether population normalisation significantly alters the SARS-CoV-2 trends revealed by wastewater-based epidemiology, and whether it is beneficial and/or necessary to provide an understanding of prevalence from wastewater SARS-CoV-2 concentrations. It uses wastewater SARS-CoV-2 data collected from 394 sampling sites, and implements normalisation based on concentrations of a) ammoniacal nitrogen, and b) orthophosphate. Wastewater SARS-CoV-2 metrics are evaluated at a...
