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.

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.
