For this purpose, 2 pilot-plants will be operated, located at the wastewater treatment plants of Sant'Antonino (Lonate Pozzolo, Varese, operated by Alfa Varese) and Canegrate (operated by CAP Evolution), respectively. Each pilot-plant consists of 2 parallel lines, fed on treated water and well-water, respectively. The pilot plants will be operated according to the indications of Istituto Spallanzani and monitored by POLIMI. The data collected will be used to evaluate the productivity in terms of fish-biomass and the release of contaminants in the outgoing water, which will be recycled to the wastewater treatment plant to evaluate the additional specific pollution loads.
