Hi! My name is Yoline Ruiter and I am the Dutch representative for the Stockholm Junior Water Prize 2024. Good water quality is of fatal importance to everyone and I am honored if my research is able to improve that.
Tell us what the water concern in your country is!In the Netherlands the major water concern is the toxication of (sweet) water due to (e.g.) agriculture.
This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:One of the possible solutions for a sustainable future is to make agriculture more efficient and sustainable. Due to the increased sustainability, the water quality will improve, and the future will become a bit more sustainable than it tends to be right now.
Biological Oxygen-Dosed Activated Carbon (BODAC) filters: A bioprocess for in water sustaining herbicide removal
Clean water is of vital importance. Micropollutants such as herbicides endanger the lives of non-targeted plants, mammals, humans, and aquatic life. This research addresses the removal of in water sustaining herbicide contaminants through the use of Biological Oxygen-Dosed Activated Carbon (BODAC), using a herbicide solution to, in turn, inquire the capabilities of sustainable and eco-friendly filtering method of BODAC and find a way of water detoxication.
