🌱 TAUW collaborated on phytoremediation of metal(loid) contaminated water and plant toxicology, featured in the journal 'Environmental Science and Pollution Research'. 💧 The study examined the tolerance of aquatic plants to highly polluted water and the mechanisms involved in reducing metal(loid) contamination. 🌿 Herwig De Wilde (TAUW Belgium), Alfredo Perez de Mora (TAUW Deutschland), along with researchers from the Universidad de Burgos (Spain), collaborated to assess the potential of three aquatic plants (Phragmites, Scirpus, and Typha) in tolerating and treating metal(loid) contaminated water. 🔎 Plant tolerance was evaluated through biomass and pigment production, as well as the activity of detoxification enzymes. Phytotreatment performance was measured by analyzing metal(loid) concentrations in plant shoots, roots, and treated water. 🔬 The study highlights the potential of the three aquatic plants tested for phytoattenuation/restoration strategies. However, further evaluation under different test conditions and project-specific scenarios is necessary. 🔗 You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d9RtCATf #metalcontamination #phytoremediation

🌍💼 TAUW Nederland and TAUW Belgium are joining forces in a unique collaboration project! 🤝 Together with ten other partners, TAUW is participating on the EU LIFE PFASTER project, which focuses on addressing PFAS contamination in and around the former paper mill in Willebroek and protecting the environment. 🔬 In specific, TAUW will be conducting ecotoxicology research, investigating the effects of PFAS on the ecosystem and natural environment. 🔧 Secondly, we will also be involved in developing and implementing innovative nature-based remediation techniques for soil, groundwater, sediment, and surface water, aiming to find effective and sustainable solutions to remediate #PFAS contamination. 💪 With the LIFE #PFASTER project, we have the opportunity to make groundbreaking contributions in the field of PFAS contamination. We are proud to be involved in this project and the role we play in finding sustainable solutions. ➡ (FR): https://lnkd.in/ecaKx7cE ➡ (NL): https://lnkd.in/eW9Zqd-4 #PFASTER #pfascontamination #naturebasedremediation #OVAM

We are proud to be among the 135 members of The Shift vzw calling on future government leaders in Belgium and Europe to adopt bold and coherent policies towards a #netzero, #naturepositive & #equitable economy. It is essential to protect our planet and our economy. 🌍   We believe in the importance of ensuring that the commitment to climate neutrality and climate justice, as outlined in the EU #GreenDeal, is upheld by future government leaders in Belgium and Europe. ⚖   In this open letter, we ask for: ✅ policies that make ecological choices and investments the most obvious and cheapest, ✅ a government that removes barriers, provides legal certainty and supports sustainability, ✅ a transition that is fair and does not overlook anyone.   TAUW Group (https://lnkd.in/dMGeSiF5) and the Shift are both urging action towards a sustainable future and emphasizing the social and economic benefits of the European Green Deal. 🌱   Read the full open letter here ➡ https://lnkd.in/etCGxv6u #wemaketheshift #GreenDeal #alivingambition

🔬 TAUW Deutschland, TAUW Belgium, and TAUW Nederland, in collaboration with esteemed partners like Materia Nova and the University of Surrey, have published an article in the prestigious journal Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) about in-situ removal of metal contamination from soil and groundwater.   🌍 Through a 30-month pilot study at an industrial site in 📍 Flanders, Belgium, they achieved science-based decreases in heavy metal concentrations using sulphate-reducing bacteria.   🌱 This study highlights the potential of said ISMP technique as a long-term solution for treating metal contamination.   Read the abstract to learn more about this research:  📚 FR: https://lnkd.in/esbP-PPW 📚 NL: https://lnkd.in/efGnzHVx #metalcontamination #soilandgroundwaterremediation #insitumetalprecipitation #ISMP
