From tackling micropollutants in wastewater to removing plastic waste from rivers, here are five solutions based on ETH expertise.
Rethinking wastewater management
Research
ETH Zurich Eawag
Sewer systems and centralised treatment plants are not a sustainable solution for managing the world’s wastewater. Environmental engineers at ETH Zurich and Eawag have been helping to develop decentralised, closed-loop modular systems.
A contested resource
Research
ETH Zurich
The expansion of hydropower generation often leads to conflicts of interest, both in Switzerland and beyond. Researchers from ETH Zurich are trying to find a basis for compromise that serves the public interest.
Take a deep breath
Research
ETH Zurich
Pulmonary surfactant is a special fluid released by cells in the lungs. For premature babies and COVID-19 patients in intensive care, it can mean the difference between life and death. An ETH materials scientist hopes to shed some light on this complex substance.
A world in flux
Research
ETH Zurich
Heavier rain, longer droughts, melting glaciers: climate change has a dramatic impact on the global water cycle.
Traces in the water
Research
ETH Zurich
How we are contaminating our waters with microplastics and a multitude of chemicals.
