Abstract: A Bayesian chemical mass balance (CMB) source apportionment method is developed using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach. Compared with deterministic approaches, the Bayesian method is capable of accounting for ...

Abstract: In this paper alternative solutions are presented to solve problems associated with the measurement of total suspended solids (TSS) in storm-water runoff. Results revealed that the accuracy of TSS measurement is largely ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate and quantify the fraction of clogging in pervious concrete samples cored from parking lots. Image observation, analysis, and processing of representative cores retrieved from parking lots ...

Abstract: An event mean concentration (EMC), usually collected with an automatic, flow-weighted composite sampler, is often used to characterize stormwater pollutants. Automatic samplers are not recommended for collecting oil and ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate correlations between annual average daily traffic (AADT) and storm water runoff pollutant concentrations generated from California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) highway ...

Abstract: Particles in highway runoff contain various sorbed pollutants, and many best management practices (BMPs) are selected for particle removal efficiency, which makes particle size distribution a crucial BMP design parameter. ...

Abstract: To understand the characteristics of particle size distribution (PSD) in highway runoff and to facilitate designing best management practices, PSD

Abstract: Mass reduction rates of particles and metals were simulated for a two-compartment settling tank composed of a storage compartment and a continuous flow compartment. Particle-size distribution, rainfall, and flow data from ...

Abstract: Sedimentation column studies and simulations using particle size distribution suggest that low removal efficiencies of smaller particles in highway runoff would be obtained using sedimentation if coagulation-flocculation ...

Abstract: Storm-water monitoring generally uses flow-weighted automatic composite samplers to collect a representative sample of an entire storm event. Automatic samplers are convenient but unfortunately they can be expensive, ...
