These contaminants get leached into the environment and water where treatment gets costly or involve in re-formulation into other dangerous compounds. At ERRC, we monitor water and wastewaters for their quality especially drinking water and wastewaters like landfill leachate and hospital wastewater. We further focus at the material level for remediating contaminants from water i.e. trace metals, dyes, antibiotics, pesticides etc. Surface modification of bio-geo-based sorbents selective for both organic and inorganic contaminant uptake is where our expertise lies.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-254 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/research.sjp.ac.lk\/errc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/JEMA_GA-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.sjp.ac.lk\/errc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/JEMA_GA-2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/research.sjp.ac.lk\/errc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/JEMA_GA-2-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nDomestic and industrial effluent emitting contaminants that are not cleansed by typical WWTP<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-584 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/research.sjp.ac.lk\/errc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Water.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.sjp.ac.lk\/errc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Water.jpg 720w, https:\/\/research.sjp.ac.lk\/errc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Water-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nPharmaceuticals and Personal Care products that cannot be treated by conventional WWTP gets leached into the environment as run-offs<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presence of contaminants in emerging concern (CECs) in aqueous environments and other contaminants such as trace metals, herbicides, etc. that comes from the anthropogenic origin are increasing their prevalent use in the fast-moving urban economy and \u201cconsumerism\u201d society.
