  • Dr. Katrin Schuhen stands with her team at Wasser 3.0 (www.wasserdreinull.com) for a completely new approach to remove micropollutants sustainably from our water. Waters contaminated with micropollutants are highly complex systems.
    Wasser 3.0 meets them with a maximum of interdisciplinary expertise, innovation and idealism. As part of research projects, marketable solutions have been developed since 2012 to eliminate microplastics, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, hormones, X-ray contrast media and other pollutants.
    The methods made by Wasser 3.0 can be flexibly applied wherever micropollutants contaminate the water. The solutions are cost-effective, sustainable and the result of the overriding concern: improving water quality and protecting the ecosystem worldwide. Since July 2019, the team of Wasser 3.0 have been successfully operating the first pilot plant at a wastewater treatment plant in Germany, which is able to remove microplastics from urban wastewater.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    That’s a great innovation. I hope they find a way to remove micro plastics in soil as well

    what an important video and only 8k views in 2 years. The entire world appears to be watching other RUclips nonsense.

    I cannot believe that this amazing woman was at my former university and was voted out because her teaching was bad. (I bet it was a systematic vote against her though). I saw her once when she was interviewed at uni for TV.
    Nevertheless, I think Water 3.0 was her path! ;)

    What happens to that chemical that floats the plastics to the surface?
    Do we end up drinking it? And what side effects does it cause in our bodies?

      One I know is that it disrupts hormones causing low fertility/infertility for both women and men and men lose testosterone and become more feminized, cancer as well, it kills cells as well and has been found in animal brains so not very good at all

    good explanatory video , an important question that you do with the waste obtained from microplastics ( those white balls ) , how do you eliminate that waste without polluting the environment

    6:57 but can you still drink it?

    • @annika5576
      @annika5576 4 года назад +3

      yes you can - the gel simply binds the microplastics, the rest of the nutrients are still in the water

    • @wasser3.0
      @wasser3.0 3 года назад +3

      It is a treatment for waste and process water, not for drinking water.

    How can you truly get rid of it?

    • @henryc7548

      You can probably destroy the polymer chains with heat

  • @elye3701
    @elye3701 2 года назад

    The only way to remove microplastics is to prevent them becoming microplastics. For s atart, trade new fishing for old. For the rest place a bounty redeemable for cash.

      Plastics cause feminization of men by attacking testosterone, if right wingers want manly men not femboys then stop these microplastics ruining our hormones
