Determination of atmospheric pollutants in wet deposition

Water is transferred from the atmosphere to the land surface mainly via various forms of atmospheric precipitation, but the contribution of surface condensation and direct deposition (e.g., dew, hoar frost, occult precipitation, etc.) should not be neglected. Wet deposition (including surface condensation and direct deposition) scavenges pollutants from the atmosphere and contributes significantly to their transport. The composition of the runoff formed on contact with various surfaces might be further modified by the components of dry deposition collected on these surfaces or by substances leaching from the surfaces themselves. Samples of wet precipitation or direct deposition might be good indicators of the state of the atmospheric environment and can be used to trace the migration of chemicals emitted from various sources, including anthropogenic ones. This paper discusses the unique challenges present at every stage of the analytical procedures used for the determination of the pollutants in atmospheric precipitation and deposition. A brief review of the results of pollutant and toxicity determination in samples of various forms of atmospheric precipitation and (or) deposition is also included, together with a discussion of the application of chemometric techniques for data interpretation. The aim of this paper is to help interested readers discover the field of pollutant determination in wet deposition and to broaden the scope of their existing research.Résumé : Le transfert de l'eau de l'atmosphère à la surface terrestre s'effectue surtout via diverses formes de précipitations atmosphériques, mais on ne doit pas négliger la contribution de la condensation ou déposition en surface (rosée, frima, pré-cipitations occultes, etc.). La déposition humide (incluant la condensation de surface et la déposition directe) ramasse les polluants de l'atmosphère et contribue significativement à leur transport. La composition de l'écoulement formé au contact avec diverses surfaces peut être encore modifiée par des composantes de dépôts secs accumulées sur ces surfaces ou par des substances lessivées à partir des surfaces elles-mêmes. Les échantillons de dépôts directs ou précipitations humides peuvent constituer de bons indicateurs de l'état de l'environnement atmosphérique et peuvent être utilisés suivre la migration des substances chimiques émises à partir de diverses sources, incluant celles d'origine anthropique. On discute les défis uniques rencontrés aux différentes étapes des procédés analytiques utilisés pour déterminer les polluants des dépôts et des précipita-tions atmosphériques. On inclut également une brève revue des résultats de la détermination des polluants et de leur toxicité dans des échantillons de diverses formes de précipitation ou déposition, ainsi qu'une discussion de l'application des techniques chémométrique pour l'interprétation des données.

“…Primary sources of pollutant export from roadway surfaces originate from traffic activities, fluid leakage and spill, vehicular component wear, roadway maintenance, pavement degradation, and wet and dry atmospheric deposition [4][5][6][7]. Pollutant loadings observed in highway runoff, expressed as pollutant mass export per unit contributing drainage area per event, are generally related to traffic volumes, precipitation characteristics, highway surface types, and highway construction and maintenance activities [8].…”

Hydrology, roadway traffic conditions, and atmospheric deposition are three essential data categories for the planning and implementation of highway-runoff monitoring and characterization programs. Causal variables pertaining to each data category could be site specific but have been shown to correlate with runoff pollutant loads. These data categories were combined to derive statistical relationships for characterization and prioritization of the respective pollutant loads at highway runoff sites. Storm runoff data of total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solid (TDS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (TP) collected from three highway sites in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, were used to illustrate the development of site-specific highway-runoff pollutant loading models. This unified methodology provides a basis for initial assessment of the pollutant-constituent loads from highway runoff using hydrologic component variables. Improved reliability is achievable when additional traffic and/or atmospheric component variables are incorporated into the basic hydrologic regression model. In addition, operational guidance is suggested for implementing highway-runoff monitoring programs that are subject to sampling and resources constraints.

“…With the recent signature of the Final Rule for Phase II Storm Water US National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations on 29 October 1999, issues related to heavy metals in roadway storm water have now come into direct focus at the national regulatory level. In the urban highway environment, heavy metals are generated primarily from the abrasion of metal-containing vehicular parts, including the abrasive interaction of tyres against pavement, leaching of heavy metals from infrastructure, oil and grease leakage and industrial discharges Lygren et al, 1984;Muschack, 1990;(Ball et al, 1991;Armstrong, 1994). Pavement and vehicle part abrasion are sources of solids that can range from colloidal-to gravel-size particles abraded from pavement.…”

Abstract:Introducing a concept of equivalent mass depth of flow, this study describes the phenomenon of non-point source pollutant (metal) transport for pavement (or overland) flow in analogy with wave propagation in wide open channels. Hysteretic and normal mass rating curves are developed for runoff rate and mass of 12 dissolved and particulate-bound metal elements (pollutants) using the rainfall-runoff and water quality data of the 15 ð 20 m 2 instrumented pavement in Cincinnati, USA. Normal mass rating curves developed for easy computation of pollutant load are found to be of a form similar to Manning's, which is valid for open channel flows. Based on the hysteresis analysis, wave types for dissolution and mixing of particulate-bound metals are identified. The analysis finds that the second-order partialdifferential equation normally used for metal transport does not have the efficacy to describe fully the strong non-linear phenomena such as is described for various metal elements by dynamic waves. In addition, the proportionality concept of the popular SCS-CN concept is extended for determining the potential maximum metal mass M p of all the 12 elements transported by a rain storm and related to the antecedent dry period (ADP). For the primary metal zinc element, M p is found to increase with the ADP and vice versa.
