Environmental safety of an advanced oxidation water treatment system

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The Advanced Oxidation System (AOS), developed by BioLargo Water Inc., is a water treatment technology**for disinfection and decontamination. The AOS can effectively remove bacterial and organic contaminants**from water through the electrochemical manipulation of potassium iodide salt, electrolysis, and expanded**graphite adsorption. The effect of exposure to AOS treated waters, especially the long-term effect on aquatic**ecosystem receptors (fish, invertebrates) is a commonly raised subject of concern, and thus requires further**investigation to demonstrate both efficacy and safety of this process. The overall aim of the proposed project is**to provide a science-based assessment of the potential long-term effect(s) and efficacies of AOS treated**effluent on two regulatory relevant aquatic organisms (Daphnia magna and rainbow trout) and to provide**essential data to answer potential consumer safety concerns with this technology.
