OUTPUT SENTENCE

Analytical methodologies for emerging  micro-pollutants in complex matrices.

 
OUTPUT TYPEmethodology 
WATER TOPICUrban pollution 
KEYWORDSEmerging micro-pollutants. 
KEYWORDS TYPEAnalytical methodologies. 
MARKET NEED TAILORED

It is necessary to make monitoring of emerging micro-pollutants which are difficult to measure (trace levels). Proposed methodology will help organizations in charge of aquatic environments monitoring.

 
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION

This project  dealt with emerging contaminants analysis (pharmaceuticals, etc.) and wastewater treatment performance for these substances. The project has helped to develop performing sampling methods (Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers - POCIS) and analytical methodologies for these micro-pollutants in complex matrices. This project has dealt with chemical pollutants from Water Framework Directive and "new pollutants".

 
STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

The project is finished and obtained Pierre Potier Prize awarded by the French Federation for Chemical Sciences, UIC and the Ministry of Industry.

 
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES

Detecting new pollutants for performances checking of wastewater treatment plants and surveying of water quality.

 
INTELLECTUAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

This methodology has been published in scientific articles and is now known. No problems of intellectual property rights.

 
TRANSFERABILITY

This methodology will be useful in all European countries because the emerging pollutant problem is enverywhere in the world.

 
POTENTIAL USERS/CLIENTS

Authorities and agencies in charge of water quality monitoring.

 
BUSINNESS CASEYes 
 Estimation of risks
INNOVATIVE DISADVANTAGE

Problaly high level of technology for analysis and costly, except for laboratories already equiped.

EVALUATION OF RISKS FOR OUTPUT USERS

Investments will be surely necessary for equipments (new laboratories) and training.

ECONOMICAL RISKSMedium risks.
TECHNICAL RISKSMedium risks.
MARKET RISKSMedium risks.
SOCIAL RISKSLow risks.
 Steps ahead
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE'

Job has been done on molecules from "old regulation". In the near future, works will be on new molecules in other projects.

INVOLVEMENT OF THE OWNER FOR THE NEXT STEPSLimited availability except maybe INERIS.
TYPE OF PARTNER FOR THE NEXT DEVELOPMENTSAvailability depending on time.
TASKS TO BE PERFORMED

Methodolology seems to be defined. Methodology diffusion has been done by scientific articles and 2 thesis.

COLLABORATION DETAILS

See INERIS.

 Estimation of ressources
RESOURCES FOR NEXT STEPS

Not necessary.

FORESEEN COSTS FOR NEXT STEPS

Foreseen costs will be costs for implementating the analytical methodology if necessary.
