A project of ERA-NET AquaticPollutantsPaper on selection of target CECs published
The SERPIC consortium has selected six target compounds of emerging concern (CEC) that will be investigated during the long-term field test of the treatment prototype. A scientific paper describes the methodology of the selection.
The methodology is based on four criteria: CEC occurrence, persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity. The results were already reported in our public Deliverable report D1.1 Target CECs. Additionally, the consortium has prepared a peer-reviewed scientific paper that has been published in the journal Science of The Total Environment – STOTEN:
