Want to detect opioids earlier? Test sewage water.

Synthetic opioids can kill long before they're detected in the community.

By Shravani Durbhakula and Jeremy C. Kourvelas

Shravani Durbhakula is an academic anesthesiologist and pain medicine physician in Nashville. Jeremy C. Kourvelas is a substance use policy analyst in Knoxville, Tennessee.

A new synthetic opioid that is 10 times more potent than fentanyl has been identified in at least 50 fatal drug overdoses in eastern Tennessee. Sadly, the mounting death toll from this drug, cychlorphine, is the main reason there is awareness of this threat. But testing sewage might have raised the alarm much sooner.
