Water: Challenges & Solutions in a Changing World
March 2016
This white paper brings together the views of leading scientists from China, Germany, Japan, the UK and the USA on the role of chemistry in meeting future water needs. It examines research opportunities for chemistry in this area, across the topics of health, environment, detection, treatment and recovery of materials.
A White Paper from the 6th Chemical Sciences and Society Symposium (CS3) 2015Water quality
February 2014
Controlling chemicals in water presents a series of constant challenges. In February 2013, we submitted evidence to the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee in relation to European proposals on new priority substances that would potentially need to be removed from water.
