Timeframe:
2017 - 2019
Geographic Area:
Baltic Sea Region
Objectives:
BONUS CLEANWATER is a research project working with solutions to reduce micro-pollutants and micro-plastics in the Baltic Sea. The project is focusing on innovative research on water technology to remove micro-pollutants and micro-plastic from wastewater. The solutions will be developed in close collaboration with end-users.
Target audience:
Environmental experts, General Public, National/Local decision and policy makers, Pharmaceutical manufacturers, Scientists, Staff of wastewater treatment plants, and Waste/water treatment providers
Area of interest:
Emergence of anti-microbial resistance (AMR), Occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment, Pharmaceutical manufacturing, Pharmaceutical waste & waste management, Risks to ecosystems, Risks to human health, and Wastewater
