Abstract

The changes in metal speciation through separate stormwater systems for several combined storms are described. The metal species which dominate throughout the system are the Chelex Removable fraction for Cd, Cu and Zn and the Exchangeable fraction for Pb. The variations in individual metal species between road runoff, gullypot outflow and stormwater outfall samples are interpreted in terms of the relevant chemical and physical processes which affect the movement of metal pollutants on the road surface, within the gullypot and through the sewer pipe system under stormflaw conditions.
