C.E.C. Analytics is addressing the growing worldwide demand for analysis and understanding of water as it relates to One Health. With increasing awareness of the challenges of waterborne pathogens and chemical contaminants, C.E.C. analytics is uniquely positioned to service numerous horizontal and vertical markets and establish itself as the leader in affordable, accessible, science-based solutions for understanding water data. The emphasis on compact, versatile products coupled with advisory services distinguishes C.E.C. Analytics from competitors. Our patented autosamplers allow for targeted wastewater based surveillance (WBS), giving high-quality, actionable data that organizations can leverage to better support community and environmental health. As opposed to WBS at WWTP's, we collect at the source, providing data at the building, dormitory, floor, or ward level. The data obtained allows for tailored interventions, saving our clients time, money, and uncertainty. Similarly, our compact size and ease of use allows for strategic water collection within freshwater systems, with analysis for contaminants of emerging concern. This presentation will provide an overview of our work, including: - Advanced warning to mitigate outbreaks of respiratory virus infections (RSV, Influenza A&B, SARS-CoV-2, etc), including analysis and confirmation within 1 hour; - Early detection of drug poisoning agents to enable harm reduction through preparation and education of staff and residents at homeless facilities. These drug poisoning agents were under limits of detection at the local WWTP; - Environmental monitoring for contaminants, including 6PPD-quinone which has been shown to have devastating effects on salmon and trout populations. Our work has been validated through projects with the Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada, the University of Calgary, the University of Alberta, as well as several First Nations communities across western Canada.
