A holistic solution to water pollution in surface water

08 Jan, 2025

Over half of the planet’s surface waters are in bad condition due to pollution, climate change, and a rapidly expanding population. Harmful algal blooms, often caused by contaminants, are clear indicators of deteriorating water quality. These blooms endanger drinking water supplies and cause considerable ecological and economic harm.

Based in the Netherlands, LG Sonic confronts the problem with a holistic and integrated approach. Instead of depending on chemical treatments, LG Sonic utilises natural-based solutions and data-driven choices to fight the battle against water pollution.

The cornerstone of LG Sonic's strategy is eco-friendly ultrasound technology, which controls harmful algal blooms. Real-time monitoring data is the driving force of these interventions. Moreover, LG Sonic’s sophisticated instrumentation assesses water quality, traces pollution sources, and predicts future risks, enabling timely, targeted interventions. LG Sonic also monitors heavy metals in surface waters, to facilitate a better understanding of pollution sources.

Partnering with regulatory agencies, communities, and industries bolsters initiatives to protect water resources. LG Sonic protects surface waters and rehabilitates aquatic ecosystems, ensuring their sustainability for the future through the adoption of advanced technologies and the promotion of collective responsibility.
