Sediment contamination assessment in urban areas based on total suspended solids

Nathalie Chèvre Rossi, Luca Rossi, Romuald Curdy, Jonas Margot, David Andrew Barry

Sediment represents an important compartment in surface waters. It constitutes a habitat or spawning site for many organisms and is an essential trophic resource for higher level organisms. It can be impacted by anthropogenic activities, particularly throu ...

Substance flow analysis as a tool for urban water management

Nathalie Chèvre Rossi, Luca Rossi

Human activity results in the production of a wide range of pollutants that can enter the water cycle through stormwater or wastewater. Among others, heavy metals are still detected in high concentrations around urban areas and their impact on aquatic orga ...

Samplinghelper a web-based tool to assess the reliability of sampling strategies in sewers and receiving waters

Nathalie Chèvre Rossi, Luca Rossi, David Andrew Barry

Sampling is a key step in the analysis of chemical compounds. It is particularly important in the environmental field, for example for wastewater effluents, wet-weather discharges or streams in which the flows and concentrations vary greatly over time. In ...

Probabilistic environmental risk assessment of urban wet-weather discharges: an approach developed for Switzerland

Nathalie Chèvre Rossi, Luca Rossi

Technical solutions aimed at limiting the impacts of urban wet-weather discharges are historically based on an end-of-pipe approach. The characteristics of wet-weather discharges, e. g. intermittent pollution loads, high variations in pollutant concentrati ...

Etude et modélisation des effets écotoxiques d'un micropolluant organique sur "Daphnia magna" et "Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata"

Nathalie Chèvre Rossi

The aim of this work is the modelling of the effects of a pollutant on an organism including time as a variable. The model developed will permit the evaluation of the toxicity globally, at short or long term, for low or high concentrations. This approach w ...
