Company Arhel d.o.o. organises in cooperation with Faculty of Pharmacy University of Ljubljana a Closure conference of the project LIFE PharmDegrade: Pharmacologically active substances in wastewater: optimisation of analytical methods and removal processes, on 24th and 25th of November 2016 in Ljubljana (Arhel`s business unit, Tržaška 330).

The main purpose of the event is to present the results of the project LIFE PharmDegrade “Degradation of pharmaceuticals in wastewater from nursing homes and hospitals”. The project touches the problematics of drugs residues or pharmacologically active substances in wastewater. In the frame of the project, we have carried out shorter screening on pharmaceutical residues in different wastewater sources, upgraded the analytical methods for identification and quantification of target substances in wastewater and constructed a pilot plant with a system of electrochemical oxidation for the removal of micropollutants as pharmaceuticals are.

At the conference, we would like to share our findings with the active participation of the broader expert public, since drug residuals are increasingly recognised to be a considerable problem for which a definitive solution is not yet known.
