AQUAPLEXUS workshop: Tools for prioritizing chemicals detected with non-target analysis

Non-target analyses provide an overview of substances present in a water sample. But how can we determine whether these substances pose a risk for groundwater and drinking water quality In this workshop, we combine presentations with practical exercises, where we work with the concept of cumulative hazard. The exercises are based on the PharmaRisk-tool, developed as part of the InSa-DrinkingWater project PharmaRisk.
