Redefining the stormwater first flush phenomenon
Water Research, 2010The first flush in urban runoff has been an important, yet disputed phenomenon amongst many researchers. The vast differences in the evidence could be solely due to limitations of the first flush current definition and the approach used for its assessment.

The goals of storm-water management have shifted from a flood control to a holistic and sustainable strategy, emphasizing the relationship between rainfall event size and pollutant loadings. The first flush concept is the first part of a rainfall event that contains the largest pollutant loading. Questions have been raised on the concept's validity for

Effect of the first-flush phenomenon on the quantification of microplastics in rainwater
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023Precipitation of airborne microplastics (MPs) by rainfall is one of the major transport pathways of MPs from land-to-marine. While most studies examining wet precipitation of MPs collect surface runoffs, direct investigations of MPs in rainwater are hardly reported. In this study, high-frequency and direct rainwater sampling methodology considering the

First Flush of Organics in Highway Runoff
Global Solutions for Urban Drainage, 2002Stormwaters from three highway sites were monitored over two wet seasons for organics, Chemical oxygen demand, oil and grease and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured. The sites exhibited a first flush in most cases for most parameters. The mass first flush ratio (the ratio of the normalized transported mass of pollutant to the normalized ...

Seasonal first flush phenomenon of urban stormwater discharges
Water Research, 2004California's climate, typified by winter and spring precipitation and summer drought, is often called a Mediterranean climate, and creates a long period for pollutant build-up. The initial storms of the winter season usually have higher pollutant concentrations, which is called a seasonal first flush.

First Flush Stormwater Runoff from Highways
Bridging the Gap, 2001Stormwater is now receiving attention from regulatory agencies and has become an important component in watershed planning. In many cases, pollutant mass emissions from stormwater exceed those from wastewater treatment plants. Land use has been identified as an important parameter in predicting stormwater quality.

Characteristics of Suspended Solids and Micropollutants in First-Flush Highway Runoff
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution: Focus, 2009Suspended solids (SS) in the first-flush runoff on highway was monitored in six continuous events from October to December 2000 in Winterthur, Switzerland, and some characteristics of particle-bound micropollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalate esters, and heavy metals were investigated.

The LooLoop-Process: The First “Waterless” Flushing Toilet
2008The environmentally open disposal of fecal contaminated wastewater flows from flushing toilets has caused and is causing a broad variety of qualitative threats and problems. Additionally, the extraction of freshwater for domestic uses from long-term renewable water resources, like ground water, and the following disposal into short-term renewable water

Predicting the existence of stormwater first flush from the time of concentration
Water Research, 2008Simulations were performed using a one-dimensional kinematic wave model to examine the relationships between the time of concentration (T(c)) and the first flush (FF) for impervious landuses. The model used chemical oxygen demand parameters from a highway runoff site in west Los Angeles for eight storm events.
