WORKSHOP 4
New Perspectives of EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive
Workshop chairs:
Bilge Alpaslan Kocamemi (Turkish Water Institute, Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry; Marmara University), Bernd Manfred Gawlik (European Commission DG Joint Research Centre)
Workshop lecturers:
Windi Muziasari (Resistomap), Dan Fujii (Stockholm Water and Waste) Tarja Maarit Pitkänen (Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare), Mayumi Narongin-Fujikawa (IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute)
Event description:
This workshop aims to inform the water sector and other sectors using water about the new perspectives introduced by the EU Urban Wastewater Directive, with a particular focus on its groundbreaking inclusion of public health issues. For the first time, wastewater is recognized as a mirror of society, offering valuable insights into viral and pathogenic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and contaminants of emerging concern (e.g. PFAS, microplastics etc)
