Environmental Analysis

Strategic lines

• Determination of organic micropollutants in wastewater and drinking water
• Development of advanced analytical methods for the characterization of complex effluents and their application to the monitoring of organic microcontaminants during wastewater treatment to ensure their elimination
• Identification of transformation products generated during wastewater treatment and establishment of degradation routes
• Study of the influence of treatments on the quality of reclaimed water and evaluation of the impact of its reuse in agriculture and the environment
• Determination of organic micropollutants in soils and plants.
