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 May 2025.

New Scientific Publications
Our partners from TU Wien have published two new scientific papers:
PFAS-Belastungen im Einzugsgebiet der oberen Donau (Occurrence of PFAS in the catchment of the Upper Danube)
The occurrence and persistence of PFAS at riverbank filtration sites in the Upper Danube basin
Newsletter #1
We published our first Newsletter! Find out what news there are in the world of PROMISCES, learn more about the project and have a look at our next events.
New portal on PFAS and PMT substitution
Since 2013, Ineris has hosted the “Chemicals substitution” website substitution.ineris.fr. This website provides support to economic operators engaged in a substitution approach and promotes the dissemination of information and relevant tools. It has now been extended with a portal on PFAS and PMT (persistent, mobile and toxic substances) substitution.
Results of the Online Survey
The results of our online survey are here! We asked our stakeholders for their views on Persistent,
Mobile (Toxic) substances and what their needs are in this area.
