-Identify the APIs entering the waste water stream at different sources and testing cost-effective technological solutions to treat APIs at their primary emission sources.
-The different technologies will be tested in pilot studies.
-Seek pollution prevention instruments in collaboration with key stakeholders.
Work packages:
1) Identification of pharmaceutical residue emission loads and risk
2) Pilot testing of wastewater technologies in real conditions
3) Cost-effectiveness of wastewater treatment solutions for bioaccumulative and persistent pharmaceutical residues
4) Policy Recommendations for sustainable management of pharmaceuticals
5) Coordination and Communication
- Efficient Treatment of Pharmaceutical Residue at Source (EPIC)
- Evaluation of technologies for the removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewaters
- Pharmaceutical load from primary emission sources to WWTPs and from WWTPs into the environment
- BIOTRANSFORMATION OF DRUGS. How to perceive the human elimination products when assessing the efficiency of waste water purification and the environmental impacts of drugs?
- EFFICIENT TREATMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL RESIDUE AT SOURCE – EPIC
- WP3: Cost-effectiveness of waste water treatment solutions at different sources
