The Spatial and Temporal Variability of Airborne Pollutants in Stormwater Runoff
06/03/2014
Atmospheric deposition is increasingly being recognised as a significant source of total suspended solids (TSS) and heavy metals in urban runoff. However, many uncertainties and challenges remain with measuring and managing these pollutants in runoff. Impermeable concrete boards were deployed in a residential, industrial, and airside landuse area in Christchurch for almost one year in 2013 to determine the spatial and temporal variability of airborne pollutant loads (principally TSS, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in runoff.
