Summary
How can the impact of wastewater on the environment be reduced? A future of fewer pollutants may be possible through new technologies that can purify or mitigate contamination. Listen up to learn:
- The function of the black box
- Possibilities for low-energy purification techniques
- Why the level of stream contamination matters for determining treatment techniques
Satinder K. Brar, a professor and Chair in Environmental Engineering at York University, and Rama Pulicharla, a post-doctoral visitor at York University, share their work with wastewater and environmental technology.
Pollution has been a problem for our waterways for much of recent history.
By using a combination of physical and biological techniques, purifying bodies of water can be achieved.
