Collaborators

The activity consists of a talk, given by Dr. Ana de Santiago Martín, researcher from the Soil and Water Quality group. The talk is about how the contaminants present in the wastewater leaving our homes could reach the environment and, through surface water, end up in the food we consume. Some results from the FatePharM and Nat4Health projects, funded by MCIN/ AEI /10.13039/501100011033, will be reported. After the talk, the students will simulate a journalistic context and interview the researcher about her activity at IMDEA Water within the framework of the school's project "Invisible Professions" - Nat4Health “Antibiotics, hormones, persistent and mobile organic contaminants and pathogens, the complex mixture in agriculture and livestock scenario. Risk to health or natural attenuation?”. Project PID2020-118521RB-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033. - FatePharM "Irrigation of crops with surface water contaminated with pharmaceuticals and trace metals: natural attenuation or health risk?". Project CTM2017-89995-R funded by MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033/ and ERDF A way of making Europe.
