Basis knowledge of engineering and chemistry is helpful. Knowledge on the occurrences, terminology in policy and science is developed while some removal technologies are discussed.
Emerging contaminants in water and wastewater are an issue of growing concern for researchers and practitioners alike. How do compounds becoming ‘emerging’? What are the threats they pose? Also, how to deal with them? All things that are not fully understood. This webinar will highlight state-of-the-art knowledge on the subject and present some examples of prioritization efforts on chemicals in the environment, considering the particular realities of Europe and South Africa. These efforts will be discussed with the audience and people may bring in their views and research outcomes.
This webinar is a follow-up from the sucessful Master lecture held at the IWA conference in Brisbane, November 2016.
Participants will learn:
– The concept and terminology on this topic
– How a substance become considered as one of concern
– The current chemical prioritization efforts in Europe and South Africa
