A dataset of 294 monitored sites from six continents (Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North
and South America) was compiled and evaluated to characterize the occurrence and fate of …

Urban road dust can be highly enriched with trace metals such as copper, lead, zinc, and
platinum group elements (PGEs) that are released primarily from vehicles. Concentrations of …

Asphalt has been the primary material for pavements and other building components such
as roof shingles and waterproofing systems, which can be the path for stormwater runoff …

The quality of road runoff at a highly trafficked road has been studied for 2years. 63 storm
events have been sampled and analyzed. Besides pH value and electric conductivity the …

Submersed plants can be useful in reducing heavy metal concentrations in stormwater,
since they can accumulate large amounts of heavy metals in their shoots. To investigate the …

The urban water system is believed to be an important sink for the nonpoint-source
pollutants nonylphenols and phthalates. The presence of nonylphenols (NPs), nonylphenol …

Remediation of stormwater polluted with heavy metals should be possible in percolation
systems, ponds, or wetlands. The aim of this work was to find plant species for such systems …

Understanding the relationship between heavy metals in road-deposited sediments (RDS)
and washoff particles is essential to controlling urban runoff pollution. RDS and its …

Urbanization is a constant accelerating global phenomenon that demands proper
understanding of the interactions between the anthropogenic activities, related emission of …

Traffic related emissions have been recognised as one of the main sources of air pollutants.
In the research study discussed in this paper, variability of atmospheric total suspended …
