About the Project
PROMISCES: Preventing Recalcitrant Organic Mobile Industrial chemicalS for Circular Economy in the Soil-sediment-water system
The increasing water consumption and the impacts of climate change reinforce the need for industrial water reuse and sustainable circular business models.
PROMISCES will:
identify how industrial pollution in the soil-sediment-water system hinders the circular economy with a focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
provide innovative technologies to prevent chemical pollution in the environment
develop new analytical methods and tools to provide data on persistent, mobile (PM) substances
assess risks for human health from PM substances
create a decision support tool and policy recommendations
The PROMISCES Project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme to support Europe’s Green Deal. It runs from November 2021 to April 2025.

On September 18, our PROMISCES session "PFAS treatment technologies for contaminated sites : soils, sediments and groundwater" took place at REMTECH Europe. During the session, the project was introduced. After that, our speakers gave all participants a deep dive into the PFAS treatment technologies that are used and developed in PROMISCES.
PROMISCES at SCENARIOS Workshop
September 5, 2024
This week, the workshop on PFAS remediation in action, organised by our sister project SCENARIOS Project EU, took place in Denmark. Floris Naus from our partner Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu took part and even gave a presentation on the Decision Support Framework and the lessons learned from the PROMISCES co-creation workshops.
Policy Brief: Achieving zero pollution by 2050 needs regulatory change
August 12, 2024
Together with our sister projects from the Green Deal Health Cluster, we published a Policy Brief: "Achieving zero pollution by 2050 needs regulatory change: a call for policy support of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)"
The Policy Brief has been developed especially for policy makers and provides key findings and recommendations from these projects that are deemed essential to achieve the goal of a zero-pollution Europe.
