  Household water treatment technologies offer an interim solution for people who remain without access to a safe drinking water source. Biosand filters (BSFs) are among the most sustainable point-of-use (POU) water treatment ...
• Compositional variation and hazards of wood ash in Ireland 

  Jagodzinski, Lucas Simon (University College Cork, 2016)

  The lack of physico-chemical as well as ecotoxicological data on wood energy ash in Ireland hampers its development as a secondary raw material. This study compiled the first compositional account of the energy wastes and ...
