Microplastic sampling strategies in urban drainage systems for quantification of urban emissions based on transport pathways

“…However, specific emissions from urban catchment areas are comparable to other catchments with different drainage schemes. Therefore, to understand the significance of the wet-weather pathway compared to the dry-weather one, we choose to extrapolate the emissions from the studied catchments L3 (1952 g/[ha • a]), as the maximum specific emission, and L4 (796 g/[ha • a]), as the minimum specific emission, to an entire catchment of the studied drainage system in Kaiserslautern with a total catchment size of about 2343 ha [38]. Assuming, however, an impervious active catchment of about 56% of the total area, only half of the year combined wetweather flow or stormwater runoff is managed by either combined sewer overflows (CSOs) or stormwater treatment tanks and a 40% average TSs removal efficiency at these structures.…”
