The activity consists of a 1-hour talk and debate, given by Dr. Ana de Santiago Martín, researcher from the Soil and Water Quality group. The talk is about the importance of soil in our society, how pollutants reach farm fields from our homes and how soil can naturally attenuate them. Some results from the FatePharM and Nat4Health projects will be reported. - Nat4Health “Antibiotics, hormones, persistent and mobile organic contaminants and pathogens, the complex mixture in agriculture and livestock scenario. Risk to health or natural attenuation?”.
