Predicting environment-specific biotransformation of chemical contaminants (PROduCTS)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019,
The ability to predict rates and products of microbial biotransformation for a broad variety of chemical contaminants accurately is essential not only for chemical risk management but also in the context of contaminated site remediation or the development of green chemical alternatives. Existing prediction methods, however, fall short of fulfilling these needs mostly because they base predictions ...

Solutions for present and future emerging pollutants in land and water resources management (SOLUTIONS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
"SOLUTIONS will deliver a conceptual framework for the evidence-based development of environmental and water policies. This will integrate innovative chemical and effect-based monitoring tools with a full set of exposure, effect and risk models and assessment options. Uniquely, SOLUTIONS taps (i) expertise of leading European scientists of major FP6/FP7 projects on chemicals in the water cycle, (i ...

Quantifying Uncertainty in Integrated Catchment Studies (QUICS)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,
"The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is the most significant EU legislation concerning surface water management. Programs of Measures are required to ensure water bodies achieve a good ecological status. It is important to predict the impact of interventions on water quality. Man-made and natural processes control surface water quality, these are highly complex with a range of sources, transport a ...

Designing new technical wastewater treatment solutions targeted for organic micropollutant biodegradation, by understanding enzymatic pathways and assessing detoxification (ATHENE)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
The identification of degradation pathways relevant for organic micropollutants in biological wastewater treatment processes is currently a major gap, preventing a profound evaluation of the capability of biological wastewater treatment. By elucidating the responsible enzymatic reactions of mixed microbial populations this project will cover this gap and thereby allow finding technical solutions t ...

Do small things lead to big problems? Mechanism of uptake and toxicity of metal nanoparticles in intestinal cells (NanoTraffic)
Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2014,
The nanotechnology industry offers many benefits to society, however its potential depends upon the knowledge of its impact on public health and the environment. NPs can enter the body bypassing epithelia, accumulating in spleen, gut, liver and brain as shown in fish as environmental species. While the mechanism of uptake and metabolism of NPs is unknown, their size and physical characteristics su ...
