Project DRopH2O supported science outreach activities
Alongside STAR, BioPlasMar and other research projects, DRopH2O team members were involved in a science outreach activity, aiming to showcase science to children and teenagers from 3 to 17 years old, from several schools in Greater Porto.
On April 15, curious young students were at CESPU for an activity entitled "Cientistas do Futuro" (Scientists of the Future), organised by members of the TOXRUN Toxicology Research Unit.

DRopH2O reaches the news!
This work carried out during the PhD of André Torres Pinto, team member of DRopH2O working at LSRE-LCM (FEUP), has recently been highlighted in the University’s news and in other national press. Under the supervision of Professor Adrián Silva (DRopH2O PI), Professor Joaquim Faria and Professor Cláudia Silva, André Torres Pinto has studied an innovative and self-sufficient system that allows the treatment of water and wastewater through an advanced oxidation process that eliminates organic contaminants potentially harmful to human health.
