“…Upstream (west) of Stockholm, in Lake Mälaren, and downstream, in the inner Baltic Sea archipelago, the Cu content is lower, confirming the urban origin of this Cu (see also Lindström et al [23], Rauch [24], and Sternbeck et al [25]). We proposed that such elevated levels of Cu in the aquatic sediment can be quantitatively coupled to the urban Cu sources.…”

“…Emissions of Cu within the other municipalities affecting the considered flow path (Figure 4) have to a lesser degree been reported in the literature, but must also be considered. Figure 4 as reported by Lindström et al [23], Rauch [24], and Sternbeck et al [25]. The arrow shows the extent of the city centre and the main water flow direction.…”

“…The arrow shows the extent of the city centre and the main water flow direction. Figure 5 shows the average of the Cu content in the upper sediments along the flow path in Figure 4 as reported for 1997-2006 [23][24][25]. It is noteworthy that in Lake Mälaren, west and upstream of Stockholm, the Cu content is relatively low, increasing along the flow path as it passes through Stockholm.…”

Despite management of point sources, heavy metals today remain at an elevated level in the urban environment, with diffuse sources dominating the emissions. In order to manage these pollutants, it is necessary to understand the coupling between the urban sources of heavy metals and their monitored, environmental levels, for example in aquatic sediments. In this work, we suggest a simple approach to quantitatively model Cu from its urban sources through a complex aquatic system. We apply the proposed model to Stockholm, situated between Lake Mälaren and the archipelago of the Baltic sea, and discuss data availability along with conceptual difficulties. Using literature data, we show that Cu occurs at elevated levels in the aquatic sediment close to the centre of Stockholm, Sweden.
