The main research activities of the group, developed with the long-term objective of protecting our water resources, span four main research areas:
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.
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.
