American Water Resources Association
Topic: Environmental Presence, Fate and Removal of Emerging Contaminants from Water
Featured Speaker: Dr. Rominder Suri, Dir., Water and Environment Technology Center, Dept. of Civil and Env. Eng., Temple University
WET Center engineers and scientists investigate emerging contaminants utilizing microbial, chemical, physical, hydrologic, and mathematic approaches. These investigations generate scientific information about levels, fate, transport, ecological and health impacts, improved detection and monitoring capabilities, pollution prevention, new cost-effective treatment technologies and optimization of existing operations at both wastewater and drinking water treatment plants.
