Dr. Baptiste Poursat attended the SETAC Europe 36th Annual Meeting in Maastricht, where he presented two talks related to wastewater and drinking water monitoring.

The first presentation explored the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as early indicators of bleach and antibiotic stress in anaerobic microbial communities. The second presentation focused on the development of a plasmonic nano-sensor for the detection and discrimination of organic micropollutants in drinking water.

Both presentations generated very interesting discussions around wastewater monitoring, microbial community responses, and innovative approaches for drinking water quality assessment and treatment.
