MICROPOLLUTANTS IN WATER FROM SURFACE RUNOFF AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
Changing climatic conditions in urbanized areas have an enormous impact on the quality of life in urbanized areas. Persistent long-term dry periods, extreme downpours with large quantities or long-lasting rains are an extreme problem for efficient water management in cities. Extreme changes in the weather also result in a risk to the environment when soaking in or relieving highly contaminated water from the first flush. These wastewaters are a potential source of groundwater and surface water pollution, in which various types of pollutants are concentrated. In our research, we focus on the evaluation of water quality from surface runoff with an emphasis on concentrations of micropollutants on a global scale. The article is focused on research in the subject area and is a summary of the current view on the issue of micropollutants in water from surface runoff. Research in the field of pollution focuses on the evaluation of heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, non-polar extractable substances, halogen organic compounds or nitrogenous pollution.
