1. Innovative treatment technologies for PFAS-contaminated water - Utilizing foam partitioning and exploring electrochemical oxidation
Abstract : The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the aquatic environment has become a global cause for concern. PFAS are persistent anthropogenic chemicals, and certain PFAS are known to be mobile, bioaccumulative and toxic. READ MORE

2. Uncharted Waters : Non-target analysis of disinfection by-products in drinking water
Abstract : Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are potentially toxic compounds formed when drinking water is treated with disinfectants, such as chlorine or chloramine. A large proportion of the exposure to DBPs is still unknown and the health risks observed through epidemiological studies cannot be explained by DBPs known today. READ MORE

3. Pharmaceutical compounds; a new challenge for wastewater treatment plants
Abstract : Analytical analyses conducted at the Himmerfjärden WWTP (285.000 PE connected) identified 70 pharmaceutical compounds belonging to different therapeutic classes. Such organic micropollutants at low detected concentration range of µg - ng l-1 did not affect the treatment processes at WWTP. READ MORE

4. Biofiltration technologies for stormwater quality treatment
Abstract : Due to high runoff volumes and peak flows, and significant contamination with (inter alia) sediment, metals, nutrients, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and salt, urban stormwater is a major cause of degradation of urban water ways. Since current urban drainage systems, which heavily rely on piped sewer networks, may not be sustainable, attempts are being made to develop and refine sustainable urban drainage solutions, notably in Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and Low Impact Development (LID) concepts.

5. Occurrence and removal of organic micropollutants in drinking water : Analytical approaches for wide-scope screening of contaminants of emerging concern
Abstract : With the rapidly expanding global population, demand for clean drinking water is increasing. However, the widespread use of synthetic chemicals makes it challenging to produce safe and clean drinking water. READ MORE
