Video Highlights WERF's Trace Organics Research

Watch video highlights of eight presentations given during WEFTEC.2010 workshop W101, The Challenge of Trace Organic Compounds (TOrC) in Wastewater: A Summary of the Latest Research from WERF and from Around the World. During the presentations, speakers discussed the latest TOrC research such as investigations of toxicology and risk, communication, and treatment of these compounds. The workshop featured WERF projects Trace Organic Compounds Removal During Wastewater Treatment (CEC4R08); Diagnostic Tools to Evaluate Impacts of Trace Organic Compounds (CEC5R08) and Communication Principles and Practices, Public Perception, and Message Effectiveness (CEC2C08).

In each of the four brief video segments below, presenters and WERF primary investigators Andrew Salveson and Tanja Rauch-Williams of Carollo Engineers give highlights from each presentation. The segments were filmed in October, 2010, at WEFTEC in New Orleans, La.
