“…WHO has also recommended a modified version incorporating dextran addition of PEG precipitation for poliovirus circulation’s environmental surveillance [ 114 ]. Due to its well-known success in the detection of poliovirus, many researchers have applied PEG precipitation with slightly different implementations or modifications to the composite, grab wastewater, or sewage sludge samples collected from different sources (manholes and WWTPs) located in the Republic of Turkey [ 66 , 99 ], India [ 25 , 75 ], Italy [ 58 ], USA [ 62 , 115 ], Argentina [ 73 ], Japan [ 97 ], Spain [ 14 , 59 , 90 , 93 ], Israel [ 60 ], Canada [ 64 ], the United Arab Emirates [ 86 ], and France [ 87 ] to recover SARS-CoV-2 genetic material as indicated in Table 2 . Moreover, it has been successfully detected and quantified by its different implication like overnight standing [ 25 , 71 , 87 , 91 , 97 , 116 ].…”
