Toxic Compound Capture and Fate in Bioretention
Year: 2007
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Input/output field water quality studies for two bioretention facilities in Maryland, USA, demonstrate very good performance for metals (chromium, copper, lead, zinc) removal, with output event mean concentrations of a few μg/L. For several of the metal(loid)s (arsenic, cadmium, mercury), event mean concentrations in input runoff are frequently very low (<2 μg/L), preventing calculations for removal performance.Determination of spatial variation of accumulated zinc in another bioretention cell shows reduction in accumulated metal with increased distance from the flow inlet.
