New article from our group resulting from the FATERISK Aqua project funded by @WWTF, first-authored by @NKrlovic: Exploring the variability of #PFAS in urban sewage: a comparison of emissions in commercial versus municipal urban areas. 1/2

Congratulations and thank you for the essential role you play in the work of our team! 2/2

...&PCR-based pathogen detection. Jointly, methods for detecting rotaviruses in hospital WW were tested & successfully established + assessed for surface water application. Rotaviruses cause severe diarrhoeal disease, a leading cause of malnutrition & death in young children. 3/3

🌍(Waste-)water monitoring goes Africa!🌍 Recently, our colleague @Gabriela_M_Eder had the pleasure to join @fabian_amman from @Bergthalerlab for a field trip to Gabon within the Africa-UniNet funded project Pathostew. Together w/ #CERMEL, they explored how #WBE can be used...1/3

Many thanks to the management of #IWAAustria consisting of #ÖVGW & #ÖWAV for the excellent organisation of this great event.

The technical #standards & #guidelines of the DWA, which are developed by recognised experts & specialists in their field, provide a very important basis for the planning, construction & operation of #plants in water, wastewater & waste management as well as soil conservation.3/3

... testing & development of methods for #TOP (Total Oxidisable Precursor) analysis. Thanks to brand-new purchases, we are now also able to perform #AOF (adsorbable organofluorine) analysis to estimate the total amount of PFAS in environmental samples. 3/3

On Oct. 5th, this year's 🏃‍♂️Krebsforschungslauf🏃‍♀️ took place on Altes AKH campus. Another chance 2 run for a good cause that our indefatigable Head of Lab Ernis Saracevic as well as many employees of @tu_wien and members of the rectorate couldn´t miss! #science #cancer #run #event

#Nitrogen is a key nutrient in the #activatedsludge process, but its levels in #industrial #wastewater #treatment plants are often too low, requiring supplementation. The findings of this study indicate that electrodialysis is a promising treatment technology for N recovery. 2/2

Key results: -Uniform 20% reduction in mineral N fertilizer falls short of achieving the targeted reduction in losses -Tailored measures need 2B elaborated by considering climate change & #regional #heterogeneity of prevalent farming systems & bio-physical boundary conditions 3/3
