New research informs about environmental effects of pharmaceutical discharges from hospitals

A comprehensive Norwegian study has investigated the environmental effects of pharmaceutical discharges via wastewater from hospitals. Some drugs may pose a hazard to the environment, while for several drugs we lack knowledge about the effects on aquatic life.

Wastewater treatment boom changes essential nutrient balance in lakes

A vast number of new wastewater treatment plants in developing countries has led to an imbalance between phosphorous and nitrogen in surface waters. The result could be excessive growth of potentially poisonous algae with a preference for nitrogen. A new study calls for better nutrient reduction in order to maintain ecosystem biodiversity.

Algeco

ALGECO (Cost-effective algae technology to promote circular economy development of Norwegian wastewater treatment plants) provides a scientific blueprint for a new paradigm of bioeconomy for Norwegian wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). We aim to transform municipal treated wastewater from waste into algae-based products by developing and implementing innovative, cost-effective and viable algae technologies.

Project period: -

CATALYST

There is a need for more accessible and comprehensive knowledge on industrial symbiosis. Through bilateral cooperation between Romanian and Norwegian actors, the CATALYST project will provide relevant and reliable information on symbiotic opportunities, case studies, and best practices for facilitators, companies and industrial symbiosis stakeholders identified through the project.

Project period: -

CORNELIA

In the CORNELIA project, NIVA together with its two industrial partners tests and verifies innovative technical solutions for targeted removal of antimicrobial resistance from wastewater at hospitals (at the source) and at wastewater treatment plants (before discharge to the environment).
