Abstract

The aim of the funding measure "Risk Management of New Pollutants and Pathogens in the Water Cycle (RiSKWa)" was to develop an innovative and dynamic system of risk management for preventive health and environmental protection and to implement it in the form of individual examples. The funding measure RiSKWa with its 12 collaborative projects and the accompanying scientific project was intended to contribute to the identification of risks, the development of technologies and strategies for their avoidance or reduction, and the development of educational and communication measures for the establishment of effective risk management and preventive environmental and health protection.
