    Decision Making with Uncertainty in Stormwater Pollutant Processes : A Perspective on Urban Stormwater Pollution Mitigation (2019)
    Singapore : Springer Singapore
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Environmental pollution ; Hydraulic engineering ; Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution ; Environmental pollution ; Hydraulic engineering ; Water pollution. ; Water quality. ; Engineering geology. ; Engineering—Geology. ; Foundations. ; Hydraulics.
    Description / Table of Contents: This book presents new findings on intrinsic variability in pollutant build-up and wash-off processes by identifying the characteristics of underlying process mechanisms, based on the behaviour of various-sized particles. The correlation between build-up and wash-off processes is clearly defined using heavy metal pollutants as a case study. The outcome of this study is an approach developed to quantitatively assess process uncertainty, which makes it possible to mathematically incorporate the characteristics of variability in build-up and wash-off processes into stormwater quality models. In addition, the approach can be used to quantify process uncertainty as an integral aspect of stormwater quality predictions using common uncertainty analysis techniques. The information produced using enhanced modelling tools will promote more informed decision-making, and thereby help to improve urban stormwater quality

    Dispersal and transport of microplastics in river sediments (2021)
    Elsevier
    In:  Environmental Pollution, 279 . Art.-Nr.: 116884.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-01-07
    Description: Rivers are viewed as major pathways of microplastic transport from terrestrial areas to marine ecosystems. However, there is paucity of knowledge on the dispersal pattern and transport of microplastics in river sediments. In this study, a three dimensional hydrodynamic and particle transport modelling framework was created to investigate the dispersal and transport processes of microplastic particles commonly present in the environment, namely, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in river sediments. The study outcomes confirmed that sedimental microplastics with lower density would have higher mobility. PE and PP are likely to be transported for a relatively longer distance, while PA and PET would likely accumulate close to source points. High water flow would transport more microplastics from source points, and high flow velocity in bottom water layer are suggested to facilitate the transport of sedimental microplastics. Considering the limited dispersal and transport, the study outcomes indicated that river sediments would act as a sink for microplastic pollutants instead of being a transport pathway. The patchiness associated with the hotspots of different plastic types is expected to provide valuable information for microplastic source tracking.
