Plastic pollution in freshwater environments is a pressing global concern due to its ability to accumulate in the environment. The long-term impacts of this pollution on freshwater ecosystems are still to understand. In PATTERN project, we aim to understand how plastics can influence nutrient composition and the natural exchanges in biological information, with a focus on the biofilms colonizing plastic’s surface. We aim to rate the environmental relevance of these processes and to assess the threshold at which plastic pollution disrupts freshwater ecosystem functioning.

We do chemical analyses of inorganic substances.

I prosjektet USAGE jobber vi med løsninger og tjenester som bidrar til fremtidens grønne og blå byer. Helt konkret handler USAGE om å kombinere produksjon av mat i et kompakt akvaponi-system sammen med håndtering og gjenbruk av overvann og takvann som ressurs inn i denne produksjonen.

A project that creates a communal research-based learning arena in aquaponics and urban cultivation for schools in Oslo with foundations in sustainability and circularity for the cities of the future.

The goal of the DUWA project is to treat wastewater discharges from hospitals to minimize the spreading of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to the environment and to reduce the emission of micropollutants. NIVA assists the start-up company Sustaintech AS in the development and verification of ozonation to remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in wastewater decentrally at a Norwegian hospital.
