Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Investigation of endocrine disruption in Australian aquatic environments

There are over 40,000 chemical compounds registered for use in Australia; however, very few of these have been monitored in aquatic receiving environments…

Source & Catchments

Saving Nemo: Reducing animal use in toxicity assessments of wastewater

Every day, Australians produce ~5 billion litres of wastewater, which contains a cocktail of chemicals…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Assessing the human health risks associated with micropollutants in stormwater intended for beneficial reuse

The standards for recycling stormwater are higher for drinking water than for non-potable reuse such as agricultural or urban irrigation…

Networks & Treatment

Understanding wastewater treatment technologies for alternative water use: transformation of inorganic and organic nitrogen

Compliance with the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling ensures that recycled wastewater does not present a health risk due to infectious pathogens or disease-causing chemicals…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Destruction of toxicity & reduction of organic content of municipal wastewater reverse osmosis concentrate

Wastewater recycling uses reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to produce freshwater but this process also generates a waste stream – the reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) – which contains almost all the contaminants present in the original wastewater…

Circular Economy

Treating wastewater for potable reuse: removal of chemicals of concern using advanced oxidation processes

Recycling wastewater by using reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration appears to be associated with the formation of some groups of micropollutants but there is not much information about these processes…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Tools for analysing androgenic, thyroid, glucocorticoid and progestagenic activity in environmental waters

Fish, frogs, and other aquatic animals sometimes show signs of ‘endocrine disruption’; aberrant changes to their hormone or reproductive systems that are thought to be caused by chemicals in the water they inhabit..

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Optimisation of nutrient removal, membrane fouling and excess sludge dewatering in hybrid coagulation/submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) treatment of wastewaters

Some wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) use membrane bioreactors (MBR)…

Circular Economy

Protocol for developing chemical pre-treatment for high pressure membranes

Reverse osmosis (RO) is used to desalinate seawater and brackish groundwater, and to remove microscopic pathogens from treated wastewater…

Circular Economy

Development of predictive tools for membrane ageing

Harmful pathogens and compounds must be removed from wastewater before it can be discharged to the environment or used for irrigation, and many source waters need salts removed to make them potable…
