Post-EDCs

PROJECT

The occurrence of water contaminants such as pesticides, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, nutrients, pathogens, etc. contributes to the pollution of waterways and river systems in the Philippines. This research will focus on the occurrence, levels and locational sources of Endocrine Disrupting compounds (EDCs) to provide up-to-date scientific data and information on emerging contaminants in aquatic systems in the country. The findings will also be useful in formulating guidelines on the prevention of EDCs contamination not only in wastewater treatment plant effluents and urban wastewaters but also in aquatic systems especially those that are used in aquaculture and domestic water production

About

Program Title: Removal of Excess Nitrogen and Endocrine disruptors from Wastewater 

Project Title: Post-wastewater Treatment determination of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds for Interventions 

Project Duration: 16 September 2022 – 15 September 2025 (3 Years)

Funding Agency: DOST - GIA

Monitoring Agency: DOST - PCIEERD

Main Objective

To establish the efficiency of the removal of emerging water contaminants such as hormones, xenoestrogens and phenolic chemicals using a proposed biological treatment technology as well as to detect these contaminants in wastewaters and in the rivers that are needed in pollution prevention strategies.
