QleanUP at a glance
The European Commission has recently finalized the revision of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD). This landmark policy introduces much stricter standards for removing micro-pollutants (quaternary treatment) and mandates the monitoring of health-related parameters like Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and viruses in wastewater.

Why it matters for QleanUP:
QleanUP is perfectly positioned to help water utilities meet these new legal requirements. Our work on DNA-based monitoring and real-time sensing for organic micropollutants directly addresses the “quaternary treatment” needs outlined in the directive. As cities across Europe prepare for these changes, the tools developed by QleanUP will provide the necessary technical foundation for compliance and public health protection.
