Lydia Niemi

I am a researcher at the Environmental Research Institute - University of the Highlands and Islands. My research interests are: water quality, emerging contaminants, wastewater treatment, and environmental pollution. I also coordinate the One Health Breakthrough Partnership, a cross-sector group addressing pharmaceutical pollution in Scotland. In this role, I work with stakeholders in the private and public sectors to deliver a Scottish Government funded project. I recently finished my PhD investigating pharmaceutical introduction and fate in wastewaters and surface waters.
