It is proposed to essentially keep the core 1 group as it stands (but with scope for expansion with other researchers, internationally, where required, and where funding allows). This core therefore will generate information on chemical (and particle) transport and fate in treated effluents and their receiving waters. A major aspect for this group is monitoring as well as the use, development and validation of modelling approaches. A further key activity of this group is to consider ways for remediation of the chemicals /particles of concern/interest to reduce their environmental discharge.
