Effectively removing emerging contaminants in wastewater treatment plants
QUBEC and MONTRAL, May 12, 2022 /CNW/ - Currently, treatment systems let, on average, half of the emerging contaminants found in wastewater go through.

- Jean-Franois Blais , water treatment and environmental decontamination expert at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), collaborated with Canadian scientists to review current and emerging treatment technologies.
- This very technology was chosen for the Jean-R.-Marcotte wastewater treatment plant, where all of Montral's wastewater converges.
- "All of these emerging technologies have the advantage of being able to be added to existing treatment plants, mostly downstream of the current systems," explains ProfessorBlais.
