Mayors Challenge: Biobot Pilot (2018)
In 2017, Cary saw a 40% increase in fatal
overdoses and a 135% increase in non-fatal overdoses. To address this, The Town
undertook an innovative approach, partnering with Biobot Analytics,
to help gather opioid consumption data by helping install and operate
wastewater sampling devices in 10 sample sites within
Cary’s wastewater collection system. This were monitored monthly by measuring
concentrations of opioid metabolites in sewage. The data solution generated
an aggregate of wastewater collected over a 24-hour
period of 4,000 to 15,000 individuals to ensure individual homes or residents are not
identifiable, safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII) concerns.
This dataset shows the average MME per category (Morphine Milligram Equivalents
per day per 1000 people) in each site, over the entire sampling
period.Note: Attached is data dictionary for all the specific terms used in the data set.
