Abstract: In this work two approaches were used in order to characterise the chemical speciation of Cu and Zn in urban runoff: ultrafiltration and passive sampling using diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT). Grab samples were taken from two catchments during snowmelt and from copper and zinc roofs during a snow-mixed-with-rain event. The results indicated that the catchment runoff composed of high amountsof particulate Cu and Zn, and that the dissolved Cu and Zn comprised of a variety of mobile and labile species. Whereas, the total Cu and Zn concentrations in roof runoff, to a great extent, composed of free ions
