Hi! My name is Femke and I am 17 years old. I live in the Netherlands and I finished highschool this year. In september I’m going to study medicine at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. I’m thrilled to go to Stockholm this year with Elle and Diona. I’m very interested in research and water, so I’m excited to see all projects this summer. Our project is about the pharmaceutical residues in surface water, which we removed with lignin, an organic molecule.

Tell us what the water concern in your country is!

The water concern in the Netherlands is mainly in the filtering of water. Even though our filter systems are very good, the surface water still contains many harmful residues including pharmaceutical residues.
