The main research activities of the group, developed with the long-term objective of protecting our water resources, span four main research areas:
Treating Wastewaters
Developing and improving treatment technologies for wastewaters to mitigate the release and impacts of contaminants of emerging concerns.
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
Using wastewater as a complementary source of information on illicit drugs consumption providing data in quasi-real time for population of various sizes.
Assessing Fate & Exposure
Monitoring presence and fate of contaminants of emerging concerns in the environment and engineered systems and exposure through drinking water.
Assessing Effects
Studying the nature and toxicity of transformation products of contaminants of emerging concerns and of treated wastewaters.
