“…Moreover, the concentrations found were very low compared to an internal study on these same outlets in 2004: Xaumier et al, 2004) and also in the literature (Bressy et al, 2011;Terzakis et al, 2008;Zgheib et al, 2011). However, another internal study in 2007 also gave average and median PAH concentrations lower than the limit of quantification (= 0.01 μg/L) for these same outlets (Sablayrolles et al, 2008).…”

“…Worldwide, numerous studies have already been made on stormwater characterization especially concerning overall pollution parameters (Lee and Bang, 2000;Teemusk and Mander, 2007;Terzakis et al, 2008;Zgheib et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2010), but only a few (Kim et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2010) have covered correlations between these parameters in stormwater.

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.

The performance of a stormwater wetland consisting of a retention pond followed by a horizontal subsurface flow (SSF)‐constructed wetland is evaluated during 11 stormwater events. Samples collected from the inlet and outlet of the wetland are analyzed for total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), ammonium (NH4+‐N), nitrate (NO3−‐N), PO43−, total phosphorus (TP), and trace metals. Despite the high variability in inflow concentrations, high removal efficacies for TSS (84.3%) and COD (79.2%) are observed. The overall nitrogen removal is satisfactory with a removal efficiency (RE) of 53.5% for TN, 56.5% for NH4+‐N, and 76.5% for NO3−‐N. Lower inflow concentrations limit the TP removal (29.5%) and can allow previously sorbed phosphorus to be released from sediments into the water column. In addition, retention pond is limited in removing dissolved and fine fractions. Lower concentrations of heavy metals are observed compared to influent, and the average RE is 67.2% for Zn, 73.2% for Cu, 41.7% for Cr, 7.1% for Cd, 44.1% for Ni, and 60.6% for Pb, respectively. Relatively high levels of Zn in the roots of Phragmites australis are observed, followed by Cu, Ni, and Cr. Mean concentrations of TSS, TN, and TP are all moderately correlated to inflow intensity during stormwater events in contrast to dissolved nutrients. Flow intensity and effluent concentrations of TSS, TN, TP, and PO43− are also significantly positively correlated.
