Abstract

Detailed knowledge of the processes that metals undergo during dry weather periods whilst deposited on urban surfaces and their environmental significance is essential to predict the potential influence of metals on stormwater quality in order to develop appropriate stormwater pollution mitigation measures. However, very limited research has been undertaken in this area. Accordingly, this study investigated the geochemical phase and particle size relationships of seven metals which are commonly associated with urban road dust, using sequential extraction in order to assess their mobility characteristics. Metals in the sequentially extracted fractions of exchangeable, reducible, oxidisable and residual were found to follow a similar trend for different land uses even though they had variable accumulation loads. The high affinity of Cd and Zn for exchangeable reactions in both, bulk and size-fractionated solid samples confirmed their high mobility, while the significant enrichment of Ni and Cr in the stable residual fraction indicated a low risk of mobility. The study results also confirmed the availability of Cu, Pb and Mn in both, stable and mobile fractions. The fine fraction of solids (<150 μm) and antecedent dry days can be highlighted as important parameters when determining the fate of metals associated with urban road dust. The outcomes from this study are expected to contribute to the development of effective stormwater pollution mitigation strategies by taking into consideration the metal-particulate relationships.

  • Previous studies have found that percentages of most metals in exchangeable fractions of stormwater sediments (pond sediments, gully pot sediments, road dust etc.) are low or non-detectable.

    “Previous studies have found that percentages of most metals in exchangeable fractions of stormwater sediments (pond sediments, gully pot sediments, road dust etc.) are low or non-detectable (Marsalek and Marsalek, 1997; Karlsson et al., 2016; Jayarathne et al., 2017).”

    From Dissolved metal adsorption capacities and fractionation in filter materials for use in stormwater bioretention facilities (2019) · cites this paper as Jayarathne et al., 2017

    Section 3.3.1 reports high exchangeable fractions for Cd (~53%) and Zn (~56%), and describes Pb’s ~14% exchangeable fraction as significant; it also reports Cu at ~19% and Mn at ~14%. Although Cr and Ni are concentrated in the residual fraction, the paper does not characterize the exchangeable percentages of most metals in road dust as low or non-detectable. The cited paper studies road dust, not pond or gully pot sediments. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
