Emerging Environmental Technology – Strategies to Curb Water Contamination with Satinder K. Brar and Rama Pulicharla

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.

However, if we do not find strategies to curb this contamination, the effects over the near future can be catastrophic.

By using a combination of physical and biological techniques, purifying bodies of water can be achieved.

However, it is crucial to tailor the strategy for the unique situation, making finding a one-size-fits-all solution quite challenging.
