New insights into the legacy of mercury pollution in aquatic ecosystems

Contamination with mercury, a potent neurotoxin, is the single most common for European waters failing to the goals of the EU Water Framework Directive. The key to whether mercury can ever lose this

The increased presence of antimicrobial substances in water is a concern. The substances can be transformed over their life cycle through several different processes. SLU researchers have therefore

New SLU-professor wants to know if we should be concerned about organic micropollutants in drinking water

There are probably more than 100 000 organic micropollutants circulating in the aquatic environment. The newly appointed SLU professor in environmental organic chemistry, Lutz Ahrens, is dedicated to
