2. Monitoring TU Dresden in the border region of Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland

19.08.2025 – 19.08.2025

Where: Border region of Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland

Event type: Project events

On August 19, 2025, the TU Dresden team conducted a second sampling in the border region of Saxon Switzerland – Bohemian Switzerland as part of the Interreg project. The campaign began at 7 a.m. in Drudebau, Dresden. Three rivers in the border region – the Kirnitzsch, Kamenice, and Sebnitz – were examined, as well as four wastewater treatment plants: Sebnitz, Vilémov, Krásná Lípa, and Česká Kamenice.

Further analysis.

This time, the sampling was accompanied by two students from TU Dresden who are conducting research on endocrine-disrupting substances and herbicide toxicity as part of their master’s and bachelor’s theses. We also received valuable support from our Czech colleague, who introduced us to the four wastewater treatment plants and facilitated access to the sites.

After a successful day of work, all samples were distributed to the institutes of TU Dresden around 6 p.m. and prepared for further analysis.
