Title and a brief description of the institution’s free, online sustainability course:
In recent decades, climate and environmental issues have become major problems to which our society is trying to respond. This course aims to make scientific research more accessible, and to discover emerging contaminants.
A presentation will be made of what are the contaminants of emerging interest as well as their various categories ranging from pesticides, substances massively used in the agri-food industry, to perfluorinated compounds, molecules of anthropic origin par excellence which, due to their use in many fields such as the textile industry or the food industry, are detected in the environment on a worldwide scale. This course is intended to be as eclectic as possible and will also present other families of emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, cyanotoxins, trace metals and rare earths.
