Research Objectives

The project aims to generate scientific evidence and solutions for safer waste management systems.

Key objectives include:

  • Investigating sources and environmental pathways of heavy metals in waste systems
  • Studying the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in waste environments
  • Assessing human and animal exposure to contaminants
  • Integrating environmental, animal, and human data through a One Health framework
  • Supporting policy development and sustainable waste management practices
