Board for Detection and Assessment of Pharmaceutical Drug Residues in Drinking Water - Capacity Building for Water Management in CE
Abstract
The main objective of boDEREC is the design of an integrated management of water works that guarantees increased quality of drinking water. The more or less unknown type of pollution from the category of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCP) find their way into the environment through excretion, household waste, waste and sewage, bathing and wastewater, and direct disposal. While many of these compounds are broken down and degraded, many will not, and will persist in the soil and reclaimed water, and create potential hazards to environmental and human life. Most waste water treatment plants are not able to eliminate PPCP. To achieve this goal, the PPCP contents will be monitored from their sources, via the watercourse, the aquifer to the waterworks at selected pilot sites. Waterworks operators will get a tool to optimize their activities, depending on the current quality of source water. The outputs of the project will also include recommendations for changes to legislation on drinking and wastewater standards and technical solutions. The specific objective of the project is dissemination activities, aimed at organizing international workshops and training. In view of the cross-border dimension of the problem addressed, the professional public will be informed about the results achieved and the ways of solving them.
