Occurence of stormwater pollutants in receiving water bodies (2021-2023)

Analyses of microplastics, metals and PAHs along urban water bodies.

• The impact of stormwater on receiving waters is well known. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on which pollutants are present in the receiving water, which concentrations can be expected and how far downstream the city the impact of stormwater is visible.
  • investigate the impact of stormwater on the receiving water
  • investigate new stormwater pollutants, such as microplastics
  • study if/how the pollution load changes along the path of watercourses through the city
  
  
• The aim of this project is to:
