Bioretention systems are designed for quality treatment of stormwater. Particulate contaminants commonly treated efficiently and accumulate mainly in the surface layer bioretention filter material. However, concerns exist that microplastic particles may not show equal accumulation behavior as other sediment particles. So far only two field laboratory studies available on fate microplastics few relatively newly built systems. Therefore, this study investigated abundance distribution nine 7-12...

Current knowledge about the fate and transport behaviors of per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in urban stormwater biofilter facilities is very limited. C5–14,16 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids [perfluorinated (PFCAs)], C4,8,10 perfluoroalkanesulfonic (PFSAs), methyl-perfluorooctane sulfonamide acetic acid (MeFOSAA, a PFSA precursor), unknown C6–8 PFCA perfluorooctanesulfonic precursors were frequently found bioretention media forebay sediments at Σ35PFAS concentrations <0.03–19...

To maintain function in biofilters over time and reduce risk for leakage of metals, regular maintenance, including replacement top layer is recommended. However, consider metal fractionation when handling material.

The increased use of bioretention facilities as a low impact development measure for treating stormwater runoff underscores the need to further understand their long-term function. Eventually, filter media must be (partly) replaced and disposed at end its functional lifespan. While there are several studies metal accumulation distributions in media, less is known about organic pollutant pathways these filters. present study considers occurrence 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 7...
