“…However, due to resource constraints and the complex temporal distribution of naturally transported fine sediment, these approaches are typically biased towards lower flows and concentrations (Carere et al, 2012;Johnes, 2007). These strategies rarely capture the state of the system when erosive processes, and connectivity across the catchment are most active (Ockenden et al, 2016;Perks et al, 2015), failing to reflect the nature of sedimentassociated pollutant transport at appropriately high temporal and spatial scales (Eriksson et al, 2007;Horsburgh et al, 2010). As such, these monitoring campaigns are not robust or rigorous enough to provide realistic estimates of fluxes, or average pollutant concentrations (Etchells et al, 2005;Gray, 1999;Irvine et al, 2002).…”

“…Elevated concentrations of metals are ubiquitous in road-deposited sediment (RDS) owing to a wide range of human activities including vehicle emissions, coal combustion, disintegration of vehicle brakes and tires, atmospheric deposition, road surface wear, municipal solid waste incineration, and residential heating (Andrews and Sutherland, 2004;Duzgoren-Aydin, 2007;Eriksson et al, 2007;Duong and Lee, 2009). RDS acts as a significant carrier of potentially toxic elements such as metals including chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) (AlKhashman, 2004;Tian et al, 2009;Sutherland et al, 2012).…”

a b s t r a c tWe applied the traditional risk assessment methods originally designed for soils and river sediments to evaluation of risk associated with metals in road-deposited sediment (RDS) along an urbanerural gradient that included central urban (UCA), urban village (UVA), central suburban county (CSA), rural town (RTA), and rural village (RVA) areas in the Beijing metropolitan region. A new indicator RI RDS was developed which integrated the RDS characteristics of mobility, grain size and amount with the potential ecological risk index. The risk associated with metals in RDS in urban areas was generally higher than that in rural areas based on the assessment using traditional methods, but the risk was higher in urban and rural village areas than the areas with higher administration units based on the indicator RI RDS . These findings implied that RDS characteristics variation with the urbanerural gradient must be considered in metal risk assessment and RDS washoff pollution control.

“…It is widely known that non-point source pollution from urban stormwater runoff discharges a significant number of xenobiotics to water recipients [1], affecting aquatic organisms and deteriorating the ecosystem [2,3]. Although knowledge of stormwater runoff and pollutants transport from urban areas increase, little is known about stormwater runoff generated at industrial sites and their respective environmental impacts.…”

Effects from log-yard stormwater runoff on the microalgae Scenedesmus subspicatus

The effects posed by stormwater runoff from an industrial log-yard on the microalgae Scenedesmus subspicatus have been investigated. The effects of stormwater runoff sampled during two rain events on the microalgae were determined in different concentrations (% v:v). The test organisms were exposed to the stormwater runoff 96h and the percentage change in growth rates in relation to a control culture were measured at exposure times of 24h, 48h, 72 and 96h. Whereas the runoff from the first rain event posed in most cases growth stimulatory effects, the runoff from the second rain event inhibited algae growth. Differences in runoff physico-chemical characteristics combined with the hydrological factors of each rain event explained these opposite effects. The occurrence of the "first flush" phenomenon was studied and the results confirmed such occurrences in the second rain event. On the basis of normalized inhibitory effects and runoff volume, it was found that 42, 51 and 50% of the inhibitory effects during exposures of 24, 48 and 72h were associated with the initial 4% of the total discharged volume. To conclude it can be stated that since the stormwater runoff of only 2 rain events posed negative effects on the test organisms, the potential environmental threats posed by these waters during the entire hydrological year needs to be better understood in order to propose an adequate management program.
