An Acoustic Sensor for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Screen Condition Monitoring in a Drainage Infrastructure [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Combined sewer overflow structures (CSO) play an important role in sewer networks. When the local capacity of a sewer system is exceeded during intense rainfall events, they act as a “safety valve” and discharge excess rainfall run-off and wastewater ...

Exploring online sensor parameters as proxies for polar organic chemicals-An innovative approach for combined sewer overflow monitoring. [PDF]
PLoS ONECombined sewer overflows (CSOs) can release toxic organic chemicals into surface waters during rain events. Currently, most overflow sites are not monitored because commonly used methods, such as automated grab sampling followed by laboratory analysis ...

The theoretical role of the wind in aerosolising microplastics and nanoplastics from coastal combined sewer overflows [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInhaled microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) have shown bio-persistence in the body, with concerning implications for human health. Airborne MNPs primarily originate from terrestrial sources, but sea air may contribute when onshore ‘aerosolising’ winds ...

Micropollutant concentration fluctuations in combined sewer overflows require short sampling intervals [PDF]
Water Research X, 2023 Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are an important pathway of organic micropollutants from urban areas to open water bodies. Understanding the temporal dynamics of these micropollutants during overflow events is crucial for applying appropriate sampling ...

Microplastics in Combined Sewer Overflows: An Experimental Study [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 One of the main sources of microplastics inside surface waters is represented by combined sewer overflows (CSOs), involving severe risks for the environment. The entry of microplastics into water bodies also depends on the characteristics of sewer diversion structures used as flow control devices. In this work, an experimental investigation was carried
