“…3), we again suspect their source to be tire debris, which contains significant amounts of PAHs, especially Pyre and Flth (30-50% of total PAHs examined) (Boonyatumanond et al 2007;Mostafa et al 2009). However, we could not find a comparable concentration of BghiP (*10% of total PAHs examined) to that in tire debris reported previously (Boonyatumanond et al 2007;Mostafa et al 2009). Moreover, tire debris cannot explain all of the Pyre and Flth in the sediment trap samples, even if all organic carbon (Tamamura et al 2009) originated from it; for example, Pyre in tire debris at 60 lg g -1 (Boonyatumanond et al 2007) and as 7% of TOC in sediment trap samples collected in September 2003 (Tamamura et al 2009) can explain only 4.2 lg g -1 of Pyre (cf.…”

“…However, it is likely that the deposition location will be closer to the source in car parks due to the slow moving traffic. Table S3 of the supplementary material identifies the range of vehicle and surface related sources which can give rise to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the resulting concentrations which have been found in traffic related sediments (Mostafa et al, 2009). Although not expected to be comparable to the situation in car parks, heavily trafficked streets are included to illustrate the increased levels which can occur relative to residential streets.…”

Traffic emissions contribute significantly to the build-up of diffuse pollution loads on urban surfaces with their subsequent mobilisation and direct discharge posing problems for receiving water quality. This review focuses on the impact and mitigation of solids, metals, nutrients and organic pollutants in the runoff deriving from car parks. Variabilities in the discharged pollutant levels and in the potentials for pollutant mitigation complicate an impact assessment of car park runoff. The different available stormwater best management practices and proprietary devices are reported to be capable of reductions of between 20% and almost 100% for both suspended solids and a range of metals. This review contributes to prioritising the treatment options which can achieve the appropriate pollutant reductions whilst conforming to the site requirements of a typical car park. By applying different treatment scenarios to the runoff from a hypothetical car park, it is shown that optimal performance, in terms of ecological benefits for the receiving water, can be achieved using a treatment train incorporating permeable paving and bioretention systems. The review identifies existing research gaps and emphasises the pertinent management practices as well as design issues which are relevant to the mitigation of car park pollution.

“…Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) was extracted from sediment samples in a soxhlet using benzene/methanol (70:30 vol/vol) (e.g., El-Nemr et al 2004;El-Sikaily et al 2002;Mostafa et al 2009;Bernd 1995, 1996;UNEP/IOC/IAEA 1991, 1992Zaghden et al 2005). The extraction was continued until the solvent in the arm of the soxhlet was colorless.…”

Soil and groundwater contamination is one of the important environmental problems at petroleum-related sites, which causes critical environmental and health defects. Severe petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from coastal refinery plant was detected in a shallow Quaternary sandy aquifer is bordered by Gulf in the Northwestern Gulf of Suez, Egypt. The overall objective of this investigation is to estimate the organic hydrocarbons in shallow sandy aquifers, released from continuous major point-source of pollution over a long period of time (91 years ago). This oil refinery contamination resulted mainly in the improper disposal of hydrocarbons and produced water releases caused by equipment failures, vandalism, and accidents that caused direct groundwater pollution or discharge into the gulf. In order to determine the fate of hydrocarbons, detailed field investigations were made to provide intensive deep profile information. Eight composite randomly sediment samples from a test plot were selected for demonstration. The tested plot was 50 m long × 50 m wide × 70 cm deep. Sediment samples were collected using an American auger around the point 29° 57' 33″ N and 32° 30' 40″ E in 2012 and covered an area of 2,500 m(2) which represents nearly 1/15 of total plant area (the total area of the plant is approximately 3.250 km(2)). The detected total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) were 2.44, 2.62, 4.54, 4.78, 2.83, 3.22, 2.56, and 3.13 wt%, respectively. TPH was calculated by differences in weight and subjected to gas chromatography (GC). Hydrocarbons were analyzed on Hewlett-Packard (HP-7890 plus) gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). The percentage of paraffine of the investigated TPH samples was 7.33, 7.24, 7.58, 8.25, 10.25, 9.89, 14.77, and 17.53 wt%, respectively.
