Control of Soil and Water Pollution (CONSOWAT)

The CONSOWAT group works on the design of strategies to minimise soil and water pollution, contributing to the development of new environmentally friendly technologies that lead to a more sustainable management of the soil-water system. In relation to soils, we apply chemical, biological and omic techniques both for the prevention of soil pollution and for the recovery of contaminated soils. In water remediation processes, we develop methods for the elimination of organic pollutants and pathogenic microorganisms through the development and use of low-cost materials.
