Pulses of intense light could clean organic micropollutants from wastewater allowing for efficient removal of OMPs from water within milliseconds

"The researchers found that the effectiveness of high-intensity pulsed light (HIPL) varied significantly depending on parameters including the number of pulses and the total energy dose delivered by the light. This allowed them to identify the most effective conditions for treating a test solution containing 11 significant OMPs, including drugs, hormones and industrial chemical contaminants"
