News

Annika Jahnke, Dana Kühnel and Christian Schmidt recently wrote a very interesting article on the Bertelsmann Stiftung's “transforming economies” blog entitled “Mehr als Müll: Warum Plastik auch zu Klimawandel und Artenverlust beiträgt” (only available in German).

Excited about our annual PARC project meeting from March 18- 19 in Leipzig, where we explored the first results of our Pan-European Study; from target & non-target screening to effect-based analysis of wastewater. Thanks for all the great contributions!
