Micropollutants

PROTECTING OUR WATER AND WATER RESOURCES The intensive use of drugs, personal care and cleaning products, as well as pesticides and biocides for industrial, commercial, agricul-tural and domestic purposes leads to pollution of our surface and groundwater. The de-gradation of these pollutants in conventional wastewater treatment plants is insufficient. Our constantly evolving society and growing use of chemical products lead to increasingly complex challenges in urban water manage-ment. The input of micropollutants from urban wastewater affects aquatic plants and ani-mals even at very low concentrations, as well as the quality of drinking water resources in lakes and in groundwater. In addition to reducing emissions from diffuse sources and implementing measures at point sources (e.g. hospitals and pharmaceutical production plants), further eliminating micro-pollutants in existing wastewater treatment

plants plays a significant role in addressing this issue – our water and water resources deserve our full attention. The experts at Pöyry are pleased to support you as a competent partner, from analysis to technical implementation and further assis-tance. Our sound knowledge in processes and process engineering, aquatic ecology and toxicology, as well as our experience and insight gained from research, pilot and full scales projects, allow us to assess impacts and to develop customised and innovative solutions. With its global network of wastewater specialists, Pöyry is ready to assist you, wherever your project is located.

Due to well-developed drainage and wastewater treatment facilities, pollution to our waters has significantly decreased and water quality has improved over the last decades. Yet the elimination of organic trace substances and endocrine disruptors remains a significant challenge to protect our water bodies.
