the chemical speciation of heavy metals (arsenic, chromium, copper, lead, zinc and tin) in the sediments offormer tin mining catchment bestari jaya, peninsular malaysia was determined by using the latest version of the community bureau of reference, usually called the bcr 3-step sequential extraction procedure. furthermore, a fourth step was introduced for digestion and analysis of the residue....

This study examined the effectiveness of open-joint inter-locking pavers in a permeable pavement in cold (winter) conditions. A field-scale inter-locking paver cell (UNI Eco-Optiloc) was built to evaluate the hydraulic performance and water quality improvements experienced during freeze-thaw and frozen conditions in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Hydraulic performance was assessed using stormwater r...

Aluminum-based water treatment residual (WTR)-coated wood mulches were synthesized and tested for removal of heavy metals and phosphorus (P) in synthetic urban stormwater. WTRs are an industrial waste produced from coagulation in water treatment facilities, primarily composed of amorphous aluminum or iron hydroxides. Batch tests showed that the composite filter media could effectively adsorb 97...

Strategies for reduction of micropollutant (MP) emissions from stormwater systems require the comparison of different scenarios including source control, end-of-pipe treatment, or their combination. Dynamic integrated models can be important tools for this comparison, as they can integrate the limited data provided by monitoring campaigns and evaluate the performance of different strategies bas...

Stormwater runoff monitoring was carried out from 2011 to 2015 to investigate the relationships between rainfall conditions (antecedent dry days (ADDs), rainfall intensity, depth and duration), and water quality parameters of stormwater from a paved road in Korea. Factor analysis suggested that the effect of rainfall conditions on the concentrations of selected pollutants varied depending on th...

Stormwater runoff is a significant source of heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni), which pose ecological human health problems. Various filter media have been evaluated for metal removal from stormwater via adsorption, most involving chemical- or energy-intensive processes. Aluminum-based drinking water treatment residuals (WTR), non-hazardous byproduct treatment...

background: sediments are inseparable fractions of wetland ecosystems that work as a his-torical archive in the process of recording heavy metal aggregation changes. this study was carried out for assessing co, ni, and zn in sediment samples of mighan wetland using geo-accumulation index in 2013. methods:the sediment samples were taken from 11 stations. the samples were subjected to bulk digest...
