TELESPHORE is devoted to the evaluation of transfers of and processes (decay, infiltration, adsorption, etc.) related to pharmaceutical residues and biocides from both sludge from wastewater treatment plants and manure spread on fields as fertilizers for agriculture. The main goal is to evaluate the possible contamination by pharmaceuticals and biocides of soils and groundwater due to sludge and manure spreading for fertilizing. The work will combine in situ (lysimeters) and lab (column pilots) experiments. Telesphore is part of the global project RISMEAU.
