Published purpose
This project will develop and optimize low-cost, scalable, and climate-adapted biofilters for wastewater treatment in Canada’s Arctic, while protecting native plant species and enhancing ecosystem services. Through laboratory and field experiments, the project will strategically select native Arctic plants and optimize engineered biofilter media to identify system designs that effectively remove pathogens, nutrients, and other contaminants from wastewater, while supporting ecosystem services and long-term system resilience.
