Separate collection and treatment of urine has been developed as an approach for preventing eutrophication, producing a valuable fertilizer and promoting sanitation in areas where no sewer-based sanitation is available...
Eine grosse Zahl und Vielfalt von Chemikalien, die in Haushalten, im Gesundheitswesen, in der Industrie oder der Landwirtschaft eingesetzt werden, gelangen mit häuslichem und industriellem Abwasser in unsere Kläranlagen...
Emissionen aus der galenischen Produktion (GalPro) von Arzneimitteln können zu Konzentrationsspitzen von Wirkstoffen in Kläranlagenausflüssen führen...
Les mesures complètes des micropolluants organiques dans les eaux sont complexes. Le projet NAWA Spez fournit des données et des analyses sur l'état de la pollution.
...is an inter- and trans-disciplinary research project, studying environmental, health and institutional dimensions of pesticide use in tropical settings
Identification and quantification of species in the vast and diverse universe of organic micropollutants is a daunting challenge for environmental sciences...
Chemical pollution is a major threat to ecosystems and human health and current regulations seem insufficient to prevent widespread chemical contamination...
Our research on fate of pharmaceuticals is motivated by investigating transformation pathways and kinetics to better understand the lifetime of such biologically active compounds in our freshwater Systems...
Chemical pollution is a major threat to ecosystems and human health and current regulations seem insufficient to prevent widespread chemical contamination...
Understanding and predicting the fate of synthetic chemicals under different environmental conditions is essential to evaluate their potential risk for humans and ecosystems...
At the Rhine monitoring station, the Basel-Stadt Environment and Energy Office (AUE Basel-Stadt) is measuring water contamination with organic micropollutants on a daily basis…
Identification and quantification of species in the vast and diverse universe of organic micropollutants is a daunting challenge for environmental sciences...
Die Überwachung von Oberflächengewässern hinsichtlich polarer und semipolarer organischer Mikroschadstoffe ist stark an die chemische Analytik gekoppelt...
Analyse der Wechselwirkungen der Produktions- und Erhaltungsziele bezüglich aquatischer Lebensräume als eine Grundlage für eine langfristige strategische Forschungsplanung
Der Rhein und seine Zuflüsse versorgen mehr als 20 Millionen Menschen mit Trinkwasser, zeitgleich enden jedoch auch die gereinigten Abwässer der 54 Millionen Menschen des gesamten Einzugsgebiets sowie unzähliger Industrieanlagen im Rhein...
Ozonation is increasingly integrated into wastewater treatment trains to eliminate organic micropollutants, known to induce adverse effects to aquatic organisms...
Monitoring-Studien mit aquatischen Invertebraten zeigen, dass die Gewebekonzentrationen vieler Schadstoffe wesentlich höher sind als anhand von Modellen...
Nitroaromatic explosives persist in the subsurface in different phases and it is extremely challenging to assess biotic and mineral-catalyzed degradation...
N-nitrosamines such as N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) are of public and regulatory concern because these potent carcinogens can be formed as unintented by-products during drinking and waste water disinfection/oxidation.
The extension of the CSIA approach to micropollutants is challenging for both analytical and conceptual reasons. In a collaborative SNF-Sinergia project, we aim at elucidating the fate of pesticides by multi-element isotope analysis on the field scale.
A contemporary view of rivers recognizes them as having multiple vertical and lateral flow paths serving as bidirectional links to the surrounding landscape...
