WQRF Summer School Webinar: May 29, 2024 @ 11 a.m. CT / 12 p.m. ET
Emerging Contaminants and WQRF Contaminant Occurrence Map 2.0 Launch Party
The list of emerging drinking water contaminants continues to expand at a fast pace, unbridled by concentration detection limits. As the public becomes more aware of contaminants in water, presenter Richard Mest will share important information and updates regarding this class of contaminants, their nuances, and the efficacy of the ever-expanding treatment technology landscape. The presentation offers a unique opportunity for attendees to expand their water treatment tool kit of knowledge - and where to find the best, most up-to-date information available. Then, we'll take a look at the latest updates to the WQRF Contaminant Occurrence Map 2.0!
