Satinder K. Brar, a professor and Chair in Environmental Engineering at York University, and Rama Pulichara, a post-doctoral visitor at York University, share their work with wastewater and environmental technology.

Pollution has been a problem for our waterways for much of recent history. However, if we do not find strategies to curb this contamination, the effects over the near future can be catastrophic.

By using a combination of physical and biological techniques, purifying bodies of water can be achieved. However, it is crucial to tailor the strategy for the unique situation, making finding a one-size-fits-all solution quite challenging.
