Els contaminants emergents (CECs) són invisibles però representen un repte creixent pel seu impacte negatiu en els nostres sistemes hídrics. Des de residus farmacèutics fins a químics industrials, aquestes substàncies passen a través dels processos convencionals de tractament i acaben en l’entorn, incloent-hi rius, llacs i fins i tot l’aigua potable. Tot i la [...]
The European project LIFE PRISTINE has launched a comprehensive awareness-raising campaign entitled #PristineWaterResilientFuture in social media and through in-person communication actions.
