Modeling the atmospheric deposition and stormwater washoff of nitrogen compounds

Estimated human health risks from recreational exposures to stormwater runoff containing animal faecal material

“…Application of animal manure on land is a common practice in the United States and many other countries. Modelling of runoff and stormwater contamination is a welldocumented research activity (e.g., (Bhattarai et al, 2011;Burian et al, 2001;Kara et al, 2012;Liu, 1994;L opez-Vicente et al, 2014;Luna et al, 2006;May and Sivakumar, 2009;Vezzaro and Mikkelsen, 2012;Vezzaro et al, 2014;Whelan et al, 2014)) Prior studies of pathogen and indicator mobilisation via overland flow from land applied manures have explored the influence that numerous factors have on mobilisation (Cardoso et al, 2012;Ferguson et al, 2007;Muirhead et al, 2006;Stout et al, 2005). Those factors include manure type and method of land application (e.g., Hodgson et al, 2009;Miller and Beasley, 2008;Ramirez et al, 2009;Saini et al, 2003;Thurston-Enriquez et al, 2005), slope and ground cover (e.g., Cardoso et al, 2012;Davies et al, 2004;Ferguson et al, 2007;Hodgson et al, 2009;Miller and Beasley, 2008;Stout et al, 2005;Thurston-Enriquez et al, 2005;Trask et al, 2004;Winkworth et al, 2008;Yeghiazarian et al, 2004), rainfall intensity and antecedent soil moisture (Bradford and Schijven, 2002;Davies et al, 2004;Ramirez et al, 2009;Saini et al, 2003;Schijven et al, 2004;Sistani et al, 2009;Yeghiaz...…”

The impact on tropospheric ozone formation on the implementation of a program for mobile emissions control: a case study in São Paulo, Brazil

“…The CIT model, using an air emissions inventory and meteorological data, simulates the fate and transport of photochemical pollutants in the atmosphere [9]. In the MASP, there are several studies analyzing the photochemical air pollution using CIT airshed model.…”

Evaluation of three vegetation treatments in bioretention gardens in a semi-arid climate

“…Each runoff event was simulated with a synthetic stormwater blend targeting the mean values of N and P concentrations found in urban runoff by Burian et al (2001), Taylor et al (2005), Dietz and Clausen (2005), Hunt et al (2006), and Sharkey (2006) in Table 3. Target N and P concentrations were achieved by mixing SuperSoil TM Garden Amender soil mulch (Rod McLellan Co, Marysville, OH) with tap water at a ratio of 1 kg mulch per 500 l of tap water in a 2080 l tank.…”

“…Urbanization of the arid West is rapidly replacing natural and agricultural lands with impervious surfaces that increase the volume and frequency of urban runoff (Hollis, 1975;Konrad & Booth, 2005;Paul & Meyer, 2001;Walsh et al, 2009). Poor air quality from particulate dust and the burning of fossil fuels in heavily populated basins increases dissolved N levels in precipitation that ultimately accumulate in urban streams (Buchanan & Honey, 1994;Burian, Streit, McPherson, Brown, & Turin, 2001;Galloway et al, 2003;Pataki et al, 2006;Taylor, Fletcher, Wong, Breen, & Duncan, 2005). Fertilizers used on lawns and residues from the burning of fossil fuels found in urban systems can also increase nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) levels in streams so that these nutrients are no longer limiting to primary production (Burton & Pitt, 2001;Eriksson, Auffarth, Henze, & Ledin, 2002;Hultine, Jackson, Burtch, Schaeffer, & Ehleringer, 2008;Schade, Marti, Welter, Fisher, & Grimm, 2002).…”
