Forskningsprosjekter

EU-WISH

EU-WISH sitt overordnede mål er å støtte de 26 deltakende europeiske landenes arbeid med å forbedre, utvide og styrke bruken av avløpsvann til overvåking. Denne overvåkingen har et folkehelseperspektiv, med et særlig fokus bl.a. på særdeles viktige patogener, antibiotikaresistens, samt kjemiske substanser. Folkehelseinstituttet og Veterinærinstituttet representerer Norge i dette prosjektet.
