A unique mix of expertise came together last week to launch the #PFASAN project at the Science Centre in Arsenal! The teams, led by Thomas Reichenauer (@AIT), Thilo Hofmann (EDGE - Environmental Geosciences Universität Wien), Ottavia Zoboli & Heidi Schaar from our institute, w/ support of 2 firms, ...1/2

Check out this new paper by Sampriti Chaudhuri et al. that explores how the efficacy of Pb, As(v) and Sb(iii) removal by #biochar is determined by #SolutionChemistry! doi.org/10.1039/D3EW00…

Three new group members have joined EDGE in February: Dr. Sarah Pati is our newest assistant #professor and will be working on #organic #contaminants in aquatic systems.

Dr. Valentin Göldner will focus on #transformation products of #organic #pollutants and their (eco-)toxical potential. Dr. Göksu Çelik will study the effects of #emerging #organic #contaminants on (human and environmental) #microbiomes. Welcome🎉

Great talk from Aaron Kintzi EDGE - Environmental Geosciences at the 2024 Water Chemistry Conference in Limburg, Germany, about #biodegradation of #watersolublepolymers. Well done Aaron

Negotiators of an international treaty on plastic pollution just concluded their fourth session, leaving the talks with just one more scheduled session and no agreement on the scope of the future treaty nor any narrowing of options, Joshua Lincoln writes. worldpoliticsreview.com/plastic-pollut…

Thank you very much Sara Rodriguez, from ICRA Girona , to give a great talk at our EDGE - Environmental Geosciences seminar about #Pharmaceuticals and #water reuse.

Happy to share Laura, Yu Jin and Christian Knoll did a great job presenting (their) papers at the EuroVis 2024 in Odense, Denmark. event.sdu.dk/eurovis

building the bridge between environmental sciences and data visualization research, Laura has represented EDGE at this year's EuroVis.
