Download or read book Stormwater Runoff and Receiving Systems written by Edwin Herricks and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-07-25 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary focus of stormwater and urban runoff research during the past twenty-five years has been on the physical description and the chemical quality assessment of runoff events and the design and implementation of the best management practices to control these events. There is a definite need for more effective integration of receiving system issues in the management and regulation of stormwater runoff. This book successfully brings together a diverse group of environmental specialists to address the issues surrounding the assessment, management, and control of stormwater, and more specifically urban runoff, from a receiving system perspective. The book's emphasis on the receiving system is timely, coming during a period when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is placing increasing emphasis on wet weather conditions through a new permit program for stormwater runoff and a policy on combined sewer overflows. Stormwater Runoff and Receiving Systems covers biocriteria, assessment of receiving water integrity, and integrated watershed analysis-all aspects of current water quality management programs for both industrial and municipal areas. More than thirty chapters are divided into six sections, offering in-depth discussions on various issues relating to stormwater, urban runoff, and receiving systems; impacts; uncertainty and risk; study design; impact mitigation; and issues analysis. Anyone who deals with regulatory programs requiring stormwater effect assessment including more than sampling and analysis of chemical water quality parameters in effluents will find this reference particularly useful.
Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Download or read book PAHs written by Peter E. T. Douben and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-07-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or polyarenes, are one of the largest and most structurally diverse class of organic molecules known. High percentages of polyarenes, representing a wide range of molecular sizes and structural types, are present in coal tars and petroleum residues. The major sources of PAHs are crude oil, coal and oil shale. The fuels produced from these fossil sources constitute the primary source of energy for the industrial nations of the world, and the petrochemicals from these raw materials are the basis of the synthetic fibre and plastics industries. PAHs are however, widespread pollutants and their impact on the environment and human health must be monitored and controlled. This book will review and assess our scientific understanding of the ecological exposure and effects PAHs have in different environments and habitats. It will accomplish this by taking the recipients of the pollution in the environment as starting points and working its way back through pathways to access what is required for our understanding of effects and rationale for control. Although this book will concentrate on ecological exposure of PAHs, the general impacts of PAHs on human populations will be touched upon. It is thought to be the first book to focus on the ecological aspects of PAHs.
Download or read book Human Health Risk Assessment of Toxic Chemical Pollutants in Stormwater written by Yukun Ma and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-12 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a detailed analysis in relation to human health risk assessment of the main toxic chemical pollutants in urban stormwater generated from urban traffic and land use activities. The knowledge presented in this book was derived based on comprehensive experimental investigations including field sampling, laboratory testing, mathematical modelling, spatial analysis and multivariate and univariate statistical data analyses. The key highlights of the book include the quantitative assessment of the human health risk posed by key toxic chemical pollutants in urban stormwater and the development of linkages between risk and traffic and land use. Additionally, a suite of mathematical equations are presented to predict human health risk based on traffic and land use characteristics through mathematical modelling. These outcomes can significantly assist in effective stormwater risk management under changing traffic and land use in the urban environment. The knowledge presented is of particular interest to readers such as stormwater treatment design specialists, decision-makers and urban planners since these outcomes provide practical suggestions and recommendations for effective urban stormwater treatment design.

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.
Download or read book Organotin written by M.A. Champ and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: single toxicant before it, yet one that has now been brought under effective control-at least in estuaries and the nearshore environment. The problem with TBT and its cause was first recognized in France, then in the United Kingdom and the United States of America; and in these and other countries legislation is now in place (see Abel, Chapter 2; Champ and Wade, Chapter 3), but in many countries the hazard is only now being identified. This volume has the important function of making available to all a summary of the results of work on TBT and the main conclusions. It will help to minimize the duplication of research and speed the introduction of legislation around the world to control organotin pollution. It is the more valuable because research on TBT has often been published in less accessible journals and symposium proceedings. This volume brings together accounts of these findings by the major contributors to the TBT story, providing the most comprehensive account to date. The TBT problem has proved to be instructive in a number of different ways beyond the bounds of the specific issue (Stebbing, 1985). Most important is that TBT can be seen as a challenge to monitoring systems for nearshore waters, by which it can be judged how effective monitoring has been in fulfilling its purpose, and what improvements should be made. Most instructive was the time it took to bring TBT under control.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Runoff Contamination Associated with Gutter and Pipe Material Degradation written by Olga Nikolaevna Loukianova Ogburn and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 959 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to typical stormwater pollutant sources (erosion materials, automotive activity, landscaping chemicals, pet wastes, etc.), urban stormwater runoff can also be contaminated with substances that leach from materials with which the water contacts as the rain water travels through an urban area to the discharge point. Prior studies have shown that the composition of roofing materials and the drainage system pipes can significantly affect the amounts of pollutants, particularly heavy metals, released into the runoff, especially for roof runoff. This dissertation research indicated that water chemistry (pH, salinity, major ions, etc.) and time of contact may also affect the release of contaminants from materials. The primary objective of this research was to examine how different drainage system and tank materials, water chemical characteristics, and exposure times affect contaminant losses during controlled tests examining the expected range of these characteristics. Static leaching tests for eight pipe and gutter materials were conducted over two separate three month periods during which pipe and gutter test materials were exposed to roof runoff and stormwater buffered to pH 5 and 8 and for exposure to different salinity conditions. A suite of heavy metal and nutrient constituents were periodically analyzed during the exposure periods. Also, pH, Eh, toxicity, alkalinity, total and calcium hardness, chloride and sulfate analysis were evaluated. This research found that the metallic gutter and pipe materials released significant heavy metals. Some of these materials were found to release large amounts of zinc, copper, and lead during the tests, with galvanized steel materials being the most significant sources of lead and zinc, while copper materials were the most important source of copper (as expected). Zinc, copper, and lead releases were detected during both short and long exposure times under low and high pH conditions and low and high salinity conditions. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the effects of time, pH, salinity and each type of material on the release of the metals. Model fitting was performed on the time series plots to predict the release rate of metals as a function of exposure time and surface area. Chemical speciation modeling was also conducted to predict the forms of the measured metals, to compare the maximum concentrations observed with the expected solubility conditions, and to predict the relative toxicities and treatabilites of the different metallic compounds and ionic species likely present. A simple model was developed that quantified the expected pollutant releases for various materials for different uses (drainage systems vs. storage tanks) and water types (low and high pH conditions, saline and non-saline waters).
