Preventing Recalcitrant Organic Mobile Industrial chemicalS for Circular Economy in the Soil-sediment-water system

Identifying industrial chemicals in soil and water

Industry plays an important role in supporting the circular economy. To help Europe reach its ambitious Green Deal objectives, the EU-funded PROMISCES project will identify how industrial pollution prevents the development of a circular economy in the EU and detect strategies to overcome the principal bottlenecks that impede reaching the targets of the European Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan.

The project will develop new analytical methods and toxicological tools to deliver data on persistent, mobile (PM) substances in complex environmental matrices and investigate sources of PM substances released from soil, sediments, landfills and wastewater treatment plants and via urban runoff into relevant natural systems.

PROMISCES will assess fate and transport processes and improve the assessment and management of human health risks.
