“…A previous study, focused on n-alkanes of street runoff in the Marais catchment, has shown a similar distribution between particulate and dissolved phases (5). The concentration of UCM found in this study ranged from 250 to 900 µg · l −1 , depending on the sample location, and constituted about 96% of the total content of aliphatic hydrocarbons in SCW.…”

So far, little attention has been given to the effect of the street cleaning waters (SCW) load on the sewer systems during dry-weather periods. However, the knowledge of this pollution is needed to better understand the contribution of SCW to dry weather flow (DWF) pollution within combined sewers. Therefore, hydrocarbon loads conveyed by SCW were analyzed for two different sites of the Paris agglomeration. Median n-alkane, Unresolved Complex Mixture (UCM) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations have been estimated at 19, 628 and 1.4 µg · l −1 for the Marais catchment (or 4th district), and at 8, 249, and 2.1 µg · l −1 for the 13th district, respectively.The observed contamination was mainly attributed to road traffic. Moreover, a comparison between SCW and street runoff showed that street cleaning removes a higher PAH stock than street runoff. In addition, SCW hydrocarbon fluxes evaluated at 5.4, 178 and 0.4 g · d −1 for n-alkanes, UCM and PAH, respectively, were compared to the hydrocarbon fluxes of the DWF pollutant load at the combined sewer outlet of the Marais catchment. Hydrocarbon loads conveyed by SCW into Paris combined sewers appeared to be a minor source of DWF pollution for n-alkane and UCM, but represented a significant source for PAHs.

“…In addition, many roofing materials are treated with biocides or similar to deter algal growth and these biocides can leach into roof runoff [23]. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have also been found in runoff from a variety of roof materials [24,25], but surprisingly, asphalt shingles have not been found to supply PAHs [26].…”

“…Under the European Water Framework Directives (WFD), transports of contaminants and the quality of urban water runoff are of major environmental concern for municipalities Responsible editor: Philippe Garrigues (Moilleron et al, 2002). To be able to meet the "good ecological status" including the discharges of stormwater (Gregoire et al, 2008), the EU WFD (Directive 2008/105/EC) requires monitoring contaminants that affect the surface water quality (Gasperi et al, 2012).…”

Labile trace metal contribution of the runoff collector to a semi-urban river

In this study, the distribution of labile trace metals (LTMs; Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in a semi-urban runoff collector was examined to assess its influence to a natural aqueous system (Jalle River, Bordeaux, France). This river is of high importance as it is part of a natural reserve dedicated to conserving aquatic flora and fauna. Two sampling campaigns with a differing precipitation condition (period 1, spring season; and period 2, summer season associated with storms) were considered. Precipitation and water flow were monitored. The collector is active as it is receptive to precipitation changes. It influences the river through discharging water, contributing LTMs, and channeling the mass fluxes. During period 2 where precipitation rate is higher, 25 % of the total water volume of the river was supplied by the collector. LTMs were detected at the collector. Measurements were done by using diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) probes deployed during 1, 7, and 14 days in each period. The results showed that in an instantaneous period (day 1 or D1), most of these trace metals are above the environmental quality standards (Cd, Co, Cr, and Zn). The coefficient of determination (r (2) > 0.50) employed confirmed that the LTM concentrations in the downstream can be explained by the collector. While Co and Cr are from the upstream and the collector, Cd, Cu, and Zn are mostly provided by the collector. Ni, however, is mostly delivered by the upstream. Using the concentrations observed, the river can be affected by the collector in varying ways: (1) adding effect, resulting from the mix of the upstream and the collector (if upstream ˂ downstream); (2) diluted (if upstream ˃ downstream); and (3) conservative or unaffected (upstream ~ downstream). The range of LTM mass fluxes that the collector holds are as follows: (1) limited range or ˂10 g/day, Cd (0.04-1.75 g/day), Co (0.08-05.42 g/day), Ni (0.06-1.45 g/day), and Pb (0.08-9.89 g/day); (2) moderate range or 11-50 g/day, Cr (0.23-33.26 g/day) and Cu (0.77-37.88 g/day); and (3) wide range or ˃50 g/day, Zn (26.33-676.61 g/day). Hence, the collector is a major source of concern in terms of contamination. This is as the water with considerable LTMs is channeled openly to the river without any treatment.
