Abstract

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a participatory experiment involving residents of a Paris district, in which their dietary habits were monitored through the analysis of chemicals in wastewater. Unlike conventional sociological metrics, wastewater can be used to monitor the behavior of the entire population, regardless of their participation, with an almost 100% response rate. The results revealed changes in the chemistry of wastewater during the experimental week, when residents were encouraged to consume "more fruits and vegetables." A key challenge lies in understanding the possible influence of confounding factors that could affect the chemical dynamics and thus impact the results. These factors were also evaluated. For the first time, wastewater has demonstrated its potential as a monitoring medium for participatory experiments addressing issues of diet and health, which are critical components in shaping the trajectory of sustainable urban living for the future.

利用废水监测饮食摄入量的建议变化:一项参与性实验。
本研究旨在评估一项涉及巴黎某地区居民的参与性实验的可行性,通过分析废水中的化学物质来监测他们的饮食习惯。与传统的社会学指标不同,废水可以用来监测整个人口的行为,无论他们是否参与,几乎100%的回复率。结果显示,在鼓励居民“多吃水果和蔬菜”的实验周内,废水的化学成分发生了变化。一个关键的挑战在于了解可能影响化学动力学从而影响结果的混杂因素的可能影响。对这些因素也进行了评价。废水首次显示出其作为一种监测媒介的潜力,可用于解决饮食和健康问题的参与性实验,这些问题是塑造未来可持续城市生活轨迹的关键组成部分。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Urban Health is the premier and authoritative source of rigorous analyses to advance the health and well-being of people in cities. The Journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exploration of the evidence base for the broader determinants of health and health inequities needed to strengthen policies, programs, and governance for urban health. The Journal publishes original data, case studies, commentaries, book reviews, executive summaries of selected reports, and proceedings from important global meetings. It welcomes submissions presenting new analytic methods, including systems science approaches to urban problem solving. Finally, the Journal provides a forum linking scholars, practitioners, civil society, and policy makers from the multiple sectors that can influence the health of urban populations.
