🌍 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰💧 A recent report from the European Environment Agency highlights the growing #challenges in ensuring #W𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿Q𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 across Europe. Despite ongoing efforts, water #pollution remains a significant concern, with chemical contamination, nutrients, and emerging pollutants threatening ecosystems and public health. According to the latest data reported by 19 Member States in 2021: ➡ Less than half of EU surface waters (37%) were in good or high ecological status. ➡ 29% of surface water bodies achieved good chemical status. ➡ Europe's waters continue to be impacted by chemicals, predominantly by atmospheric pollution from #coal-powered energy generation and diffuse pollution from #agriculture. 👉 Learn more about the EEA’s findings: https://lnkd.in/dtDkJQBX

The European Researchers’ Night is all about bringing the public closer to the world of #science and #research while shining a light on the pivotal role researchers play in shaping our society. 💡🔍 Our partners from CyRIC | Cyprus Research & Innovation Center Ltd were present at the event in Nicosia, Cyprus, and had the opportunity to spread the word about the NIAGARA project. 🌊🚀 🔗 Want to learn more about NIAGARA and its potential?

Emerging Contaminants (#ECs), also known as Contaminants of Emerging Concern (#CECs) , are a diverse group of synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals or biological agents that have only recently come under scrutiny, despite their long-standing presence in the environment. 🌿 These substances, found in trace amounts, can range from pharmaceuticals to pesticides, personal care products, and industrial chemicals. 🧪 As more than 1,000 of these substances remain unmonitored in drinking water treatment plants, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions. That's where the NIAGARA project comes in. 💡 Our mission is to enhance the monitoring and remediation of four key pollutants in DWTPs: 🧴Bisphenol A (BPA) 🌾 Imazalil 💊⚕️Ibuprofen / Paracetamol: 🦠Helicobacter pylori 🔗 Want to learn more?
