Are lab water impurities compromising your research on environmental water contaminants?
Learn how fellow researchers are contributing to the fight against water contaminants
In our Going Green Whitepaper, discover six exciting research projects that are helping us to understand and reduce environmental water contaminant. We discuss the consequences of environmental water contaminants, including how sources of water contaminants can be monitored, understood and managed, and the need for ultrapure water to study this. You will learn about environmental pressures on water quality and how to implement water contaminants solutions in your lab.
What’s inside?
- Research at the Université de Nantes, France and Institute of Plant Protection, Israel demonstrating the disruptive effect of herbicides on crop parasites.
- Research conducted at an urban sewage treatment plant in Tunisia that highlighted seasonal variations in the removal of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
- Investigations led by the University Ca’ Foscari in Venice on how amino acids produced at the sea surface become distributed as aerosols across Antarctica.
- Lab bench and pilot plant filtration studies carried out by Technische Universität in Berlin to establish the effectiveness of activated carbon at removing organic micropollutants.
- An interdisciplinary investigation at the University of Sheffield to understand the mechanical properties of Rhodococcus bacteria used in the bioremediation of oil spills.
- Learn how AstraZeneca and the University of Portsmouth developed a solid-phase extraction method to rapidly determine drug-sludge interactions.
- Evidence from the University of Sindh on the influence of industrial effluent on silver and heavy metal concentrations in the freshwaters of Pakistan.
Be aware of water contaminants
Be one of the sustainable labs of the future
Is this the green Lab of the future?
Download our Going Green Infographic to learn 5 ways your lab can be greener today, and tomorrow. Lead by example - learn how to power down, recycle and re-use, save water and renew your energy. Leaving your lab equipment on wastes water and electricity. By making some simple changes, your lab can save up to 788,400 gallons of water each year and conserve 10% of energy daily. Become a sustainable laboratory today.
