[LUM#9] Pollution

Chemical industry residues, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, microplastics - the traces left by human activity are now everywhere. In water, in soil, in all living organisms. How can we deal with pollution to preserve our planet? This ninth issue of Lum magazine devotes its special report to this immense challenge.

Chemists, agronomists, ecologists, many researchers at the University of Montpellier are looking for solutions to meet this challenge. Whether it's purifying wastewater so that it can be reused, or gaining a better understanding of the impact of greenhouse gases on the nutritional quality of plants, each of them is making their contribution to a vital collective edifice, offering the hope of new prospects for the future of every species.

Also in this issue: promising research to combat chronic pain, revelations about sporting activity that can help preserve your personality, an amazing boat that flies...

But first, dive into the waters of the Pacific Ocean in the company of researchers from Géosciences Montpellier, who are studying the Maupiti lagoon.
