Micropollutants in water E-course
This course is prepared to teach scientists/trainees on organic micropollutants in our water. It is organized in 12 modules and includes 5 case studies in parallel to the activities of COST Action Water_2020.
Each module has been prepared by collaboration of Water_2020 partners of the Joint TaskForce (JTF1) on Micropollutants and recalcitrant compounds (headed by Peter Schroeder, and co-lead by Giuseppe Mascolo).
The idea of this course was developed by Dr. Alette Langenhoff (Wageningen University, the Netherlands).
