COCKTAIL: Monitoring mixtures of pollutants discharged into surface waters and assessing the risk of the ‘cocktail effect’.

EBLSE: Assessment of the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in waters in Wallonia: focus on extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing enterobacteria.

ECHAPA : Assessment of the potential contribution of passive and integrating samplers to surface water quality control strategies in the Walloon Region.

MICROPLAST : Assessment of the occurrence of microplastic particles in the digestive tracts of freshwater fish and invertebrates, as well as the presence of plasticisers in these organisms.

MICROPLASTEP: Assessment of the effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants in treating microplastics in wastewater and the fate of microplastics in the environment
