“…The build-up of contaminants on impervious surfaces, wash off from surfaces into formed channels or pipes and the transport along these pathways are observed in detail (Lee et al 2002). In some cases, urban runoff contains nutrients at similar concentrations to treated sewage, as well as significant levels of suspended solids, heavy metals and pathogens (Charles et al 2003;Rocher et al 2004). Our study confirms these observations with reference to dissolved pharmaceuticals in the rural Mess catchment.…”

The objective of this investigation is to analyse the variations of xenobiotic concentrations and the fluxes of dissolved xenobiotics during runoff events in the small rural Mess catchment (35 km 2 ) in the Southwestern part of Luxembourg. Sulfonamides, tetracyclines, analgesics and hormones, dissolved nutrients, sulphate and chloride were measured to gather information about runoff generation. Typically, the highest values can be found during the first flush mainly in the rising limb of the flood hydrographs. The highest concentrations in eleven flood events are measured for ibuprofen (2,383 ng l -1 ), estrone (27 ng l -1 ) and diclofenac (20 ng l -1 ). From the tetracycline group tetracycline (9 ng l -1 ) itself is of relevance, while the sulfonamides are mainly represented by sulfamethoxazole (5 ng l -1 ). The variable patterns of chemographs are attributed to the heterogeneous runoff generation characterised by different reactions of storm overflows from the combined sewer systems. During single flood events, the fluxes of ibuprofen (maximum 24,000 mg), 17α-ethinylestradiol (122 mg), 17β-estradiol (32 mg) or estrone (274 mg) are rather low.

“…Concentrations of trace elements associated with aerosol particles have been reported in remote, marine background and continental/urban influenced areas throughout the world (Beavington et al 2004;Al-Momani et al 2005;Hueglin et al 2005). Rocher et al (2004) reported the occurrence of heavy metals and major elements in atmospheric deposition indicating atmospheric fluxes of major elements during cold seasons, due to residential heating, while heavy metals, whose major sources have constant emission fluxes, exhibit steady atmospheric loads throughout the year. Among the trace elements of airborne particulate matter, Al, Pb, Zn, As, Cd, Ni, and Cr are commonly known heavy metals, which cause adverse effects on the environment and human health due to their toxicity (Deb et al 2002;Fang et al 2006).…”

This study proposes a practical method to estimate elemental composition and distribution in order to attribute source and quantify impacts of aerosol particles at an urban region in Kolkata, India. Twelve-hour total particulates were collected in winter (2005-2006) and analyzed by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique to determine multi-elemental composition, especially trace metals. The aerosols consist of various elements including K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, and Pb which exhibit significant concentration at various sites (p < 0.05). The concentration of different metallic elements were found in the order of Zn > Pb > Ni > Cu > Cr > Co. Statistical multivariate analysis and correlation matrix analyses were performed for factor identification and consequent source apportionment. Contour profiles demonstrate spatial variation of elemental compositions indicating possible source contribution along with meteorological influences. Spatial differences were clearly most significant for Zn, Ni, Pb, and Cu reflecting the importance of anthropogenic inputs, primarily from automobile sources.

Runoff events were analysed in separated sewer systems in the town of Luxembourg. The relationships between Event Mean Concentrations of different pollutants and runoff patterns were evaluated. In addition, the inter-storm and intra-storm variability of the material transport were determined. Primarily, the variations in pollutant concentrations and loads are determined by the antecedent weather conditions. The presence of illicit sanitary inputs in one of the sewers produced a significant first flush effect as well as higher Event Mean Concentrations for pollutants. Furthermore, near the town of Trier 40 storms were analyzed in a small natural basin mainly influenced by runoff from a separated sewer system. Natural and artificial storm events were investigated in order to estimate the relationship between the pollutant sources in the channel and from the separated sewer system.
