Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
Despite the efforts made in the last decades for the implementation of the Water Framework. Directive, water pollution is still a main cause of water quality deterioration. The traditional monitoring, based on grab samples, is not economically affordable and interest is rising in effect-based methods. Bioassays and biosensors can determine biological responses caused by complex mixtures by measuring their combined effects. The aim of WATERSCAN project is: 1. To bring to the market an already patented biofilm-based sensor that provides real time detection of mixture toxicity in water 2. To test a panel of standard bioassays exposed to environmental toxic mixtures.
