“…Hoffman et al (1982) monitored the petroleum hydrocarbons contained in storm runoff from a 12.5 ha shopping mall parking area and found that between 83 and 93% was associated with particulate material and constituted between 1.7 and 3.3% of the solid material mass. Lopes et al (2000) applied a mass balance approach to volatile organic compounds in stormwater and concluded that the more hydrophobic compounds, such as benzene, were derived from the car park surface itself following concentration in accumulated oil, grease and soot particles whereas oxygenated compounds, such as methyl tertiary-butyl ether, arose from atmospheric deposition. Asphalt has been identified as a source of PAHs in stormwater with a high-traffic volume car park yielding 0.056 g year -1 m -2 of a total of 16 PAHs compared to 0.032 g year -1 m -2 from a low-traffic-volume car park (Smith et al, 2000).…”

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.

“…A preweighed adsorbent paper (raw or modified) was placed in the beaker containing oil and a thin wire was used to immerse the paper into the oil up to 2 cm from the top of the paper. After a specified time (10,20,30,40,60, 80, 100 and 120 second), the sorbent was then removed from the beaker. The excess unabsorbed oil was drained for five minutes, and the sorbent was weighed.…”

“…Environmental concerns have focus not only for the quantity of bagasse produced annually but also for the nature of the material (6)(7)(8) . Moreover, a limited number of studies on the application of plant biomass to remove low oil concentration from storm water runoff have been conducted (1,(9)(10)(11)(12) .…”

“…The oxygen consumed during the biochemical oxidation of degradable organic matter by bacteria might deplete the dissolved oxygen in the water body to zero thus destroy populations of fish and other aerobic aquatic species (Irish et al 1995). Organic matter on road surfaces appears to be concentrated in particles such as vehicle soot and VOCs are found mostly in oil and grease (Lopes et al 2000).…”

Factors affecting highway runoff quality

Highway runoff often is a significant non-point pollution source. Though it has been extensively studied there are still open questions regarding the identity and mutual influences of the factors affecting pollutant concentrations in road runoff. This review starts with a description of the main pollutants (heavy metals, refractory organics and suspended matter), then it analyzes interactions existing between them and their fractionation between the particulate and dissolved phases. The third section examines the sources of pollution, being: vehicles which contribute fluid and solid pollutants, roads which contribute suspended solids, and dry and wet atmospheric deposition which is influenced by adjacent land-uses. The last section discusses the importance of the factors affecting road runoff quality, the main of which are traffic, rainfall, local conditions (climate and land use) and highway characteristics. The review reveals that conclusions derived from existing data are often ambiguous and significant knowledge gaps still exist.
