The quality of our water, both groundwater and surface water, is fundamental to the health of humans and nature. In the fight against pollution and to improve water quality, biocides play a dual role. On one hand, they are essential in controlling harmful microorganisms, while on the other hand, their impact and use require careful consideration and innovation. This theme highlights how we can ensure safe and clean water through smart technology and policy.
Necessity of clean water
Clean water is a basic need for life. Yet, our water quality is under pressure due to factors such as pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, and industrial discharges. Improving water quality requires effective and sustainable solutions, where biocides are used responsibly to protect water sources without harming the environment.
Innovation in biocide use
Innovation plays a key role in developing biocides that are effective against harmful organisms but have minimal impact on the environment. New technologies and methods for dosing and breaking down biocides help reduce risks to public health and the environment.
Regulation and future perspective
Regulations surrounding biocides are strict and sometimes cause delays in the application of innovative solutions. It is crucial that legislation supports innovation and does not unnecessarily hinder progress, so that we can continue working to improve water quality.
Together towards a cleaner water environment
The future of our water quality depends on a collective effort: from governments, industries, water managers, and innovators. By working together on sustainable solutions and the smart use of biocides, we can ensure a water environment that is safe for both humans and nature, now and in the future.
