A probabilistic-deterministic approach for assessing climate change effects
... on infection risks downstream of sewage emissions from CSOs
Recent publication
Researchers have developed a prediction model to estimate the risk of infection for selected pathogenic germs in urban waters. They are focussing on how climatic changes will alter the spread of current pathogens introduced by wastewater. They are calculating the current risk of infection as well as models for the near future and long-term predictions up to the year 2100. PD Dr Andreas Farnleitner, MSc, Head of the Division of Waterquality and Health, was involved in the work led by TU Wien.
