Objectives

Water purity

Water purity

Monitoring the quality of water and its toxicological load to guarantee the consumption of pure water to citizens.
Access to safe water

Access to safe water

Planning actions to treat contaminated water with low cost and environmentally sustainable technologies.
Aquaculture

Aquaculture

Pure and microbiologically safe water for aquaculture, the fastest growing food producing industry in the world.

Methodologies

An integrate approach to achieve CECs and PTEs removal. Developing of new tools useful for eliminating pollutants.

1

Biological approach

Fungi will be used to eliminate contaminant of emerging concern (CECs), with particular focus on antibiotics and some lipophilic compounds responsible of unpleasant taste on fish
2

Chemical approach

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as dissolved As, Hg, Pb or Cd species will be captured by exploiting the use of iron, adsorbents derived from biomass and inorganic oxides and photocatalysts
