Studies
UC Davis Biosolids Compost Speciation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Study
The purpose of this study was to research different VOCs, which are emitted during the composting process, in order to determine each ones reactivity or ability to act as a precursor to the ground level formation of ozone.
Pyrethroid Reevaluation by the California Department of Pesticide and Regulation
The Tri-TAC Pesticides Stakeholders Group lent their expertise to the registration and review process for potential impacts of pyrethroid insecticides within wastewater and biosolids systems.
WateRuse Research Foundation PPCP/EDCs Recycled Water Study
This research reviewed methodologies for screening human health risk-based criteria for pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and potential endocrine disrupting (EDCs) compounds in water intended for indirect potable reuse.
ACWA/CASA Energy Research Project
In pursuit of California’s long standing commitment to developing clean renewable energy resources and reduce the adverse effects of climate change on our state and the world, the California Energy Commission (CEC) stepped forward in 2009 to assist in the research project of gathering data from water and wastewater agencies that will identify opportunities to develop reliable and cost effective renewable resources. This project was a collaborative effort between CASA, ACWA, PG&E, CEC and Southern Edison.
