GreenNano final conference will be postponed

Due to the current circumstances, we have decided not to run the GreenNano final conference on November 11-12, 2020 as previously planned. Instead, we plan to arrange the final conference in late spring 2021 or in the autumn of 2021.

Does climate influence the content of indicator bacteria in stormwater?

Stormwater that originates from rain and snowmelt is an important component in the transport of pollutants to receiving waters that can be used for drinking water production and for water-based recreation. In Helen Galfi's recently published PhD thesis, potential sources and transport pathways of microbiological pollutants as well as other pollutants such as metals have been studied in Östersund and in laboratory experiments.
