OneDrop aims to impact environmental issues in Russia and Finland. Partners are providing research of water in the regions close to the border of Finland and Russia. Water research is necessary to obtain data on the pollutants contained in the water or as it is also called water contaminants. It is important to determine which pollutants are contained in the water. The knowledge of contained pollutants allows determining the right amount of sodium ferrate that will be required to clean the contaminated water.

CBC OneDrop project partners are currently working in the following areas in Finland and Russia to provide water research of the region and study water pollutants for future water purification:

• Rakkola/Seleznevka river

• Neva River

• Soil Experiment

• Krasny Bor Industrial Water

• Acid Main Drainage

• Lappeenranta Wastewater Plant

• Ballast Water Treatment

• Jarosite

• Red Mud
