Abstract. In this paper it considered the problem of collection, treatment and discharge into waters of rain and melted wastewater. To reduce the load on the combined sewer system, there are engineering solutions collect rain and melt water for use in the irrigation of lawns and green spaces.Research carried out at the department "Water supply and sanitation", (Russia), confirm the high pollution concentrations of meltwater and rainfall in urban arias. Series of measurements of heavy metal in rainwater runoff carried out in Hungary demonstrates clearly the differences in concentrations in the function of distance from the edge of the road. Also differences are introduced between pollution concentrations in runoff water from within and outside urban traffic roads. The quality of snow cover, forming meltwater is observed to be changing in dependence on roadway location. Quality characteristics of surface runoff and its sediments can be effectively improved with super-high frequency radiation (SHF) treatment which is presented in this paper.

“…According to Budai and Clement ( 2011 ), zinc is produced mainly from tyre and brake wear and the corrosion of galvanized steel. It is likely that the runoff leached some of Zn in the soil deposited from these sources.…”

“…Apart from the snow bank acting as a repository for coarser metal particles, the additional adsorption of fine airborne particles to the snow crystals may also contribute to the overall accumulation. As a considerable fraction of abraded brake material is emitted as airborne particulate matter [3,20], and further fine metal particles are emitted by tire wear and fuel combustion [22], this contamination pathway may not be negligible, either.…”

Conventional methods of road runoff sampling come with various difficulties. Hence, a novel experimental method was tested in and around Budapest, using a passenger car to collect wheel splash samples. Total concentrations of selected heavy metals were compared to the results of an earlier conventional runoff sampling program for verification. Despite the inhomogeneous set of splash samples, the ratio of measured heavy metals was found to be fairly stable throughout the entire data set. Ratios in the new splash samples and the formerly collected gully drain runoff samples were also found to be identical, showing that sample composition is not distorted by the new method. Urban sites generally exhibited higher concentrations than motorway sites, especially for Cu and Pb, the suspected cause of which is the difference in traffic dynamics. Traffic volume dependence is indirectly indicated by the clearly observable differences between weekday and weekend samples collected from urban sites.Keywords diffuse pollution · highway runoff · urban runoff · sampling · storm water Acknowledgement This work is connected to the scientific program of the " Development of quality-oriented and harmonized R+D+I strategy and functional model at BME" project.
