A pollutant removal prediction tool for stormwater derived diffuse pollution
Water Science and Technology, 2008 This report describes the development of a methodology to theoretically assess the effectiveness of structural BMPs with regard to their treatment of selected stormwater pollutants (metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and herbicides). The result is a prioritisation, in terms of pollutant removal efficiency, of 15 different BMPs which can inform ...

Heavy metals in waters used for human consumption and crop irrigation
Revista Ambiente & Água, 2018 The consumption of contaminated water is a major source of heavy metal contamination in humans and animals. This study therefore aimed to assess Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn levels in water used for human and animal consumption and vegetable crop ...

Diffusion of reacting pollutants
Applied Mathematical Modelling, 1980 Abstract The Boltzmann equation including reactive scattering terms is the correct description of the combined transport-reaction process. A suitable parameterization transforms it into a set of differential equations governing the macroscopic mass balance.

Use of Stable Isotope Techniques for Research of Diffuse Nitrate Sources in Groundwater
Proceedings, 2020 Nitrate leaching into groundwater is a serious issue in many parts of the world. Usually agricultural use of fertilizers is blamed to be the main source of pollution, but other human activities, like leaky or inexistent sewage systems can also be ...
