Her presentation, entitled \u201cTreatment of hospital wastewater in membrane bioreactor\u2014profiling and role of microbiome,\u201d examined the role of the microbial community in hospital wastewater treatment. This filtration process uses microorganisms to remove various pharmaceutical pollutants.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI was pleasantly surprised to receive this award,\u201d said Bhagyashree. \u201cIt\u2019s a field with important potential in the fight against environmental pollution.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 18px !important; color: #000; margin-bottom: 5px;\"><strong>Innovative Research<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Hospital wastewater is known to have a high concentration of pharmaceutical compounds. These contaminants have to be degraded by microorganisms to keep them from getting into the environment. However, pharmaceuticals are designed to inhibit or kill microorganisms such as those used in a membrane bioreactor.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In her research, Bhagyashree used wastewater samples from Qu\u00e9bec City hospitals. She examined the existence and elimination of 12 pharmaceutical products, including caffeine and ibuprofen (a commonly used anti-inflammatory).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe wanted to determine whether the pharmaceutical compounds altered the composition of the microbial community inside the membrane bioreactor and whether this had an impact on wastewater treatment performance,\u201d explained Bhagyashree. \u201cThe idea was also to assess whether the microbial community, once modified, could degrade these contaminants.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In her research, she analyzed the community of bacteria present inside the membrane bioreactor. Her study is one of the first to look at microeukaryotes, like fungi and algae, which have significant potential for degrading pharmaceutical compounds in hospital wastewater treatment. \u201cWe have observed that long-term exposure to pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater promotes the proliferation of microbial communities capable of tolerating or degrading these products, such as pathogens or microorganisms carrying antibiotic resistance genes,\u201d explained Tiwari Bhagyashree, who will be defending her thesis in January 2020.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Tiwari Bhagyashree\u2019s award comes with a $200 cash prize and a one-year membership in CAWQ and the International Water Association (IWA), as well as a subscription to the <em>Water Quality Research Journal of Canada and Water 21<\/em> (an IWA publication).
