- Abstract
The effects of stormwater discharges on receiving aquatic environments and the need for their purification were highlighted by an EU court in May 2020. The ruling stated the need for removal of dissolved pollutants, which justifies field studies for development of far-reaching methods for runoff treatment. In this study, a standard sand was used as medium for road runoff filtration and removal of dissolved and particle-bound (<0.45 mu m) zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). Data included 24 road runoff events, mimicking the flow variations and pollutant emissions over a seven-month period. The findings showed that sand can be used to remove Zn and Cu from road runoff in a gravity fed treatment system at a surface load ranging from 16.8 to 201 L m(-2) h(-1). The removal of total Zn and Cu was 93 and 67%, respectively. Dissolved Zn was efficiently removed by the sand (87%), however not Cu (19%). The sand efficiently removed total suspended solids (TSS) from the maximum occurring 443 mg L-1 to below 5 mg L-1. No head loss due to the TSS loadings was observed. The sand's potential to remove the investigated metals was shown, but in the longer term, effluent concentrations may exceed permitted values., QC 20220920

Konferensbidrag till NORDIWA, 28 september – 1 oktober, 2021, Göteborg Treatment method to remove dissolved metals from motorway runoff – initial observations and implications for operation and maintenance Magnus Hallberg1, Agnieszka Renman2, Raúl Rodríguez Gómez2, Gunno Renman2, Liselott Berndtsson1 1 Swedish Transport Administration, Stockholm, 2 Royal Institute of Technology, Division of Water and Environmental Engineering, Stockholm A large number of different stormwater treatment systems were designed over the years. Unfortunately, their adaptation to operation and maintenance were not always taken into account. During the extensive construction of treatment plants at the new motorway bypass Stockholm, the Swedish Transport Administration investigate sustainable and maintenance efficient stormwater solutions for removal of dissolved pollutants. Moreover, the environmental authorities claim for high consent limits of stormwater effluent metal concentrations with particular regard to zinc (Zn). For this reason, the Swedish Transport Administration started a project in 2020. Runoff at three sites along a section of the E4 motorway, Stockholm, are used for testing filter materials in large column experiments and full-scale filter wells to assess removal of dissolved pollutants. The impact of particulate matter for filter clogging is also studied. The filter wells, situated at Lilla Essingen, aim to remove dissolved metals from road runoff. The pre-treated water, where the load of particulate matter reduces in an open storage pond, is pumped into two parallel filter wells, each filled with 2.7 m3 Leca Filtralite® P. The filter system received stormwater from July 2020 and the first part of the trial terminated in December 2020. The volume treated during this period was approximately 1300 m3. We performed automatic flow-proportional and occasional grab sampling of influent and effluent stormwater to the filters. The water analyses comprised total and diss, QC 20220302

Science and technology - Abstract
The yeast Mediator complex is required for transcriptional regulation both in vivo and in vitro, and its function is conserved in all eukaryotes. Mediator interacts with both transcriptional activators and RNA polymerase II, but little is known about the mechanisms by which it operates at the molecular level. Here, we show that the cyclin-dependent kinase Srb10 interacts with, and phosphorylates, the Med2 subunit of Mediator both in vivo and in vitro. A point mutation of the single phosphorylation site in Med2 results in a strongly reduced expression of the REP1, REP2, FLP1, and RAF1 genes, which are all located on the endogenous 2-[micro]m plasmid. Combined with previous studies on the effects of SRB10/SRB11 deletions, our data suggest that posttranslational modifications of Mediator subunits are important for regulation of gene expression. transcriptional regulation | Srb11 | RNA polymerase II

Då globaliseringen av världens länder är mer utbredd än någonsin och fri rörlighet av kapital, varor och arbetskraft existerar mellan många europeiska länder finns det stora möjligheter för internationella företag. Allt fler företag väljer att etablera sig utanför sin inhemska marknad, och för dessa finns inte bara möjligheter utan även ytterligare risker som måste hanteras. Valutarisk är en av de risker som företagen måste beakta då de etablerar verksamheter utanför hemlandet. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vilka risker som stora svenska företagen med verksamhet på flera marknader är utsatta för, och hur företagen väljer att arbeta för att hantera dessa. Vi vill sedan jämföra hur det ser ut i verkligheten med vad teorin säger om området. En del av vårt syfte har varit att utreda om den pågående ekonomiska krisen har påverkat graden av riskexponering, och om företagen tar till ytterligare åtgärder eller alternativa metoder för att hantera detta. Vi har i vår studie valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ metod och genomfört den i form av djupgående telefonintervjuer med de studerade företagen Lindab och Sandvik. Våra respondenter är ansvariga för respektive företags treasury-enhet, vilket är den avdelning där företagets valutaexponering hanteras. Slutsatser från studien visar bland annat på: Företagen anser att valutarisker existerar och är en faktor som måste beaktas. Transaktionsexponeringen är den överlägset mest uppmärksammade och hanterade risken hos studieföretagen. De studerade företagen är medvetna om omräkningsexponeringen, men väljer att inte hantera den. Interna och externa metoder används för att hantera valutarisker. Netting och matchning är de interna metoder som används mest frekvent. Terminer är den överlägset vanligast förekommande externa metoden.

The liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that play important roles in the regulation of lipid metabolism. In this study, we demonstrate that receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a cofactor for LXR in liver. Analysis of RIP140 null mice and hepatocytes depleted of RIP140 indicate that the cofactor is essential for the ability of LXR to activate the expression of a set of genes required for lipogenesis. Furthermore we demonstrate that RIP140 is required for the ability of LXR to repress the expression of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene in Fao cells and mice. Thus, we conclude that the function of RIP140 as a cofactor for LXR in liver varies according to the target genes and metabolic process, serving as a coactivator in lipogenesis but as a corepressor in gluconeogenesis.

The pollutant load in road runoff is related to traffic densities and road maintenance activities. Inurbanised areas treatment of road runoff is common and often considered necessary. The pollutantsare partitioned between the particulate and dissolved matter. However, the contaminantstend to have an affinity to the particulate material. Sedimentation, the predominant treatmentmethod for road runoff uses various types of ponds. Design tools used for stormwater treatmentsystems are based on extensive data from existing treatment systems. The variations in the empiricaldata make it difficult when attempting to evaluate precise conditions for pollutant removaland thereby minimising the land use for a treatment facility. This is a concern in highly urbanisedareas where land use often is restricted.In this work, field studies were conducted in three separate watersheds along the same motorwaywith an annual average daily traffic exceeding 120,000 vehicles. The aim was to assess treatmentconditions for the removal of contaminants from road runoff.The study of mass transport of total suspended solids used the EU Directive (1991/271/EEC)discharge requirement for urban wastewater treatment: 60 mg/l during winter and summer. Theresults showed that a capture of the total runoff volume was necessary during both seasons. Tenmetals (Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn), as dissolved and particulate bound, werestudied in the road runoff during a winter season and the following summer period. The dissolvedpart of Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, and Ni was significantly higher in winter. The mass concentration(mg/kg) for all metals was significantly higher over the summer except for Al and Co, whichshowed a higher mass concentration during the winter. The total metal concentration showed agood correlation to total suspended solids (TSS) during winter with exception for Cd. Good correlationto TSS was also found for the summer period for Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn. A simplemodel could describe sedimentation by the initial concentration of TSS, albeit road salt (NaCl)had a significant impact on the sedimentation process during winter. Removal of dissolved metalswas studied by column experiments using water granulated blast furnace slag. The result showedgood removal for Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn independent of NaCl concentrations. Sediment accumulation(mg sediment/mm precipitation) was relatively consistent for the studied summer seasons asopposed to winter. The sediment differed in metal mass concentrations (mg/kg) between theseasons. Concentrations of Cu and Zn were high in regard to the guidelines for sensitivity ofsediment dwelling organisms and Swedish guidelines for contaminated soils.The findings suggest that the entire runoff volume must be captured for treatment. The reductionof TSS concentration could be estimated for a specific surface load (m/h). This would alsoapply for majority of the studied metals that correlated well to the particulate material. Reactivefilter technology using water granulated blast furnace slag could be applied for treatment of runofffor the reduction of dissolved metals. However, long-term studies are necessary for its practicalimplementation. Furthermore; the work shows that on-line turbidity measurements could beused for expedient process control for treatment facilities in similar watersheds dominated byroads. The work could be used together with existing design methods and models to evaluate andoptimise road runoff treatment. Föroreningsbelastningen i vägdagvatten är beroende av trafikbelastningen och vägunderhållet. Iurbaniserade områden är behandling av dagvatten vanlig och ofta bedömd nödvändig. Föroreningarnaär lösta och partikulära, men har vanligen en affinitet till det partikulära materialet. Denförhärskande behandlingsmetoden för dagvatten är sedimentering, vanligen i dammar. Designmodellernabygger på data från olika befintliga dagvattenanläggningar. Det varierande ursprungettill det empiriska underlaget medför svårighet att precist värdera designförutsättningarna och såledesminimera behandlingsanläggningens storlek. I förtätad stadsmiljö, där tillgång på mark ärbegränsad, kan detta vara ett problem.I detta arbete har fältförsök genomförts i tre avrinningsområden vilka domineras av en motorledmed en årlig dygnstrafik större än 120,000 fordon för att utvärdera behandlingsförutsättningar förvägdagvatten.Masstransporten av suspenderat material (SS) utvärderades utifrån EU Direktivet(1991/271/EEC) och gränsvärdet för avloppsvatten på 60 mg/l under vinter och sommar. Studienvisade att hela avrinningsvolymen bör behandlas oberoende av säsong. Fördelningen mellanpartikulärt och löst material studerades för tio metaller (Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn)under vinter och sommar. Den lösta delen av Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn och Ni var signifikant högreunder vintern. Den partikulära koncentrationen (mg/kg) för samtliga metaller var högre undersommaren med undantag för Al och Co vilka förekom i högre halter under vintern. Totalhalten(μg/l) av metallerna korrelerade väl med SS under vintern med undantag för Cd. Likaledes uppvisaderesultaten en god korrelation mellan SS och Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni och Zn under sommaren.Sedimenteringsegenskaperna kunde beskrivas med en enkel modell utifrån koncentration av SS,men förhöjda halter av vägsalt (NaCl) befanns påverka sedimenteringen under vintern. Reduktionav lösta metaller studerades i pilotförsök med vattenkyld granulerad masugnsslagg. God avskiljningerhölls för Cd, Cu, Ni och Zn oberoende av förhöjda halter av vägsalt. Ackumulering avsediment (mg sediment/mm nederbörd) befanns vara konstant under sommaren i motsats tillstuderade vinterperioder. Sedimentkoncentrationerna av Cu och Zn var förhöjda med avseendepå riktlinjer för känslighet hos sedimentlevande organismer samt för återanvändning av slam.Resultaten visar att hela avrinningsvolymen måste behandlas. Reduktion av SS samt huvuddelenav metallerna, vilka visade god korrelation till det partikulära materialet, kan skattas utifrån enspecifik ytbelastning (m/h). Reduktion av lösta metaller kan ske med granulerad masugnsslagg,dock bör långtidsstudier genomföras. Vidare visar studien på möjligheten att nyttja kontinuerligturbiditetsmätning för en effektiv och praktisk processkontroll i reningsanläggningar för liknandeavrinningsområden med hög trafikbelastning. Resultaten av arbetet kan användas för bedömningoch optimering av vägdagvattenbehandling tillsammans med existerande designmetoder och modeller. QC 20100709

Other Environmental Engineering ,Annan naturresursteknik - Abstract
It is known that traffic is a source of pollutants and that pollutant loads increase with elevated traffic densities. Studies executed in Stockholm, Sweden advocate that highway runoff from roads with an annual average daily traffic (AADT) exceeding 30,000 vehicles need treatment before discharge to the receiving water. It is common knowledge that sedimentation is the most expedient method for stormwater treatment. However, sedimentation units are area demanding and in highly urbanised watersheds the land use is often restricted. Studies have implied the occurrence of first flush, i.e. an initially higher pollutant load in the beginning of the runoff event, in highway watersheds. With an emphasized first flush it would be possible to treat only a part of the total runoff volume reducing the area needed for a sedimentation basin. In general two methods are used to design stormwater treatment ponds. One method is based on the reduced catchment area and pond surface and the other is based on an average runoff volume and a permanent pond volume. The methods are relaying on data from routine monitoring of various treatment systems and suggest removal efficiencies for pollutants. Applying general removal efficiencies for design it can be intricate to estimate an outlet concentration when the specific removal efficiency may be dependent on the initial concentration of the pollutant. Consequently, knowledge of the removal efficiencies dependence on initial concentration would be helpful to optimise stormwater treatment systems. This research has studied runoff from highly trafficated watersheds. The aim has been to evaluate the mass transport, stormwater quality and sedimentation behaviour and their implications for stormwater treatment. The study sites, Eugenia and Fredhäll, are located along the six-lane highway E4 through Stockholm that has an AADT load of 120,000 vehicles and a speed limit of 70 km/h. In lack of a unified definition of first flush the mass transport was studied using the EU directive 1991/271/EEC discharge demand for TSS of 60 mg/l. It was found that for the majority of the runoff events during winter the event mean concentration exceeded 60 mg/l suggesting that the complete runoff volume should be captured during winter. The dissolved concentration of metals showed significant variations between winter and summer, as did the concentration in the particulate matter (mg/kg). It was possible to correlate total metal concentration to total suspended solids with good correlation (r2 >0.90) for the majority of studied metals in winter and summer. The findings would imply that a successful treatment of the studied metal pollutants could be carried out by sedimentation. However, depending on discharge criteria, the elevated levels of dissolved matter, especially during winter, have to be considered with regards to the selection of the appropriate water treatment process. The sedimentation process could be described by a logarithmical function and initial turbidity. Good correlation (r2 >0.90) was indicated between turbidity and TSS. The sedimentation process of the studied highway runoff varied significantly (p

The yeast Mediator complex is required for transcriptional regulation both in vivo and in vitro and the identification of similar complexes from metazoans indicates that its function is conserved through evolution. Mediator subunit composition and structure is well characterized both by biochemical, genetic and biophysical methods. In contrast, little is known about the mechanisms by which Mediator operates and how the complex is regulated. The aim of my thesis was to elucidate how Mediator functions at the molecular level and to investigate functional interactions within Mediator. It is possible to recruit RNA polymerase II to a target promoter and thus to activate transcription by fusing Mediator subunits to a DNA binding domain. In order to investigate functional interactions within Mediator, we made such fusion proteins where different Mediator subunits were fused to the DNA binding domain of lexA. The expression of a reporter gene containing binding sites for lexA was subsequently measured in both a wild type strain and in strains where genes encoding specific Mediator subunits had been disrupted. We found that lexA-Med2 and lexA-Gal11 are strong activators that function independently of all Mediator subunits tested. On the other hand, lexA-Srb10 is a weak activator that depends on Srb8 and Srb11 and lexA-Med1 and lexA-Srb7 are both cryptic activators that become active in the absence of Srb8, Srb10, Srb11, or Sin4. Both lexA-Med1 and lexA-Srb7 proteins showed a stable association with the Mediator subunits Med4 and Med8 in wild type cells and in all deletion strains tested, indicating that they were functionally incorporated into the Mediator complex. We also showed that both Med4 and Med8 exist in two forms that differed in electrophoretic mobility and that these forms differed in their ability to associate with Mediator immuno-purified from the LEXA-SRB7 and LEXA-MED1 strains. Dephosphorylation assays of purified Mediator indicated that the two mobility forms of Med4 corresponded to the phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of the Med4 protein respectively. Some of the data presented in this study as well as previous genetic and biochemical data obtained in our lab suggested a functional link between the Med1, Med2, Srb10 and Srb11 proteins. We extended these findings by showing that the Srb10 kinase phosphorylates the Med2 protein at residue serine 208, both in vitro and in vivo. We also showed that a point mutation of the single phosphorylation site to an alanine or to an aspartic acid residue altered the gene expression of a specific set of genes. Taken together, these data indicate that posttranslational modification of Mediator subunits is a so far uncharacterized mechanism for regulation of gene expression. In order to study the function of the Srb7 subunit of Mediator, we isolated a temperature sensitive strain where the amino acids 2 to 8 of srb7 were deleted. The Mediator subunits Nut2 and Med7 were isolated as high copy suppressor of srb7-∆(2-8) and we were also able to show that Srb7 interacted with Nut2 and Med7 both in a 2-hybrid system and in co-immuno precipitation experiments using recombinantly expressed proteins. Interestingly, a deletion of amino acids 2 to 8 of Srb7 abolishes its interaction with both Med7 and Nut2 in vitro. Med4 also interacted with Srb7 in the 2-hybrid system and surprisingly, the first eight amino acids of Srb7 were shown to be sufficient for this interaction.

- Abstract
One treatment practice for storm water is detention of the initial part of the runoff that is considered to contain the highest concentration of pollutants. This study has evaluated the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) in 44 consecutive runoff events from a highway watershed. The effluent TSS standard for wastewater of 60 mg/l applied in the EU was used to assess the required treatment. In 35 of the runoff events the TSS partial event mean concentration exceeded 60 mg/l for the duration of the runoff event. Thus, a partial capture of the runoff volume should not be used as a treatment option in similar conditions that prevailed in this study., QC 20100709.

- Abstract
A pilot-scale system consisting of presedimentation and a saturated down-flow reactive bed filter was used for cleaning highway runoff. Blast furnace slag (BFS) and Polonite were selected as filter materials. A total suspended solids (TSSs) removal of over 99% was achieved. High removal performance was observed for dissolved Mn, Ni, Co, and Cu. In contrast Al was released after filtration. Metals were retained in the upper layer of the bed filters while a desorption was suggested to take place in the downward layers. This was probably attributed to the elevated salt levels during winter and the intermittent operation.

- Abstract
Removal of dissolved heavy metals in road runoff can be achieved by filtration through reactive materials. A four-column installation was set up at an existing treatment plant and used to examine different types of filter materials in situ. Two fractions of granulated activated carbon (GAC), Clinoptilolite and Polonite were investigated. The hydraulic loading was 1 m h(-1) and the metal attenuation capacities were studied under unsaturated and saturated conditions. The relative effectiveness of the materials decreased in the order: GAC of fine fraction > GAC of course fraction > zeolite > Polonite. Aluminium, Fe, Mn, and Zn showed the highest concentrations in influent storm water and also showed elevated removal efficiencies.

- Abstract
It is understood that the major pollution from storm water is related to the content of particulate matter. One treatment practice is based on the first flush, i.e. detention of the initial part of the runoff that is considered to contain the highest concentrations of pollutants, This study has evaluated the concentration of total suspended solids in 30 consecutive runoff events during the winter season for an area of 6.7 hectares. A six-lane highway (E4) that has an annual average daily traffic load of 120,000 dominates the area and road de-icing salt (NaCl) and studded tires were in regular use during the studied period. The effluent standard for wastewater of 60 mg TSS per litre applied in EU was used to assess the treatment requirement of storm water. In only two of the events the event mean concentration was below 60 mg V. In four runoff events a partial event mean concentration below 60 mg l(-1) was found, in 26 %, 12 %, 11 %, and 2 % respectively of the runoff volume. This would suggest that a capture of the initial part of the runoff for subsequent treatment is less applicable in this type of urban watershed., QC 20100709.

29. Treatment of polluted road run-off water : Problems and possibilities

Hallberg, Magnus, Renman, Gunno, Hallberg, Magnus, and Renman, Gunno
- Abstract
The legal aspects for conventional water production and treatment are clearly defined and not ambiguous. This is not the case for handling and treatment of run-off water. In the EU directive 1991/271/EEC run-off water is defined as sewage water. The EU Water Directive refers to 1991/271/EEC and points to run-off water as a pollutant source for ground water. Elevated levels of pollutant can be found in run-off water from catchment areas with dense traffic loads. Depending on road maintenance, use of studded tires, type of pavement, traffic flow, velocity, type of vehicle, residential and industrial areas, tunnels the degree of mobility of the pollutants will vary in the ambient air and the run-off water. An aspect that only to some extent has been elaborated on is the influence of pavement types and its wear with regard to the mobility of the pollutants. A treatment technique commonly used in many countries is storm water ponds. The pollutant removal efficiency varies for different ponds, due to different specific pond areas, i.e. pond area in relation to catchment area. Ponds act as sedimentation basins, collecting particles and bounded pollutants. However, the solute transport of e.g. heavy metals should be trapped by other means. For that purpose a filtration unit has been developed and tested in Sweden., QC 20101115

- Abstract
The EU Water Directive (2000/60/EG) refers to 1991/271/EEC in regards to runoff water (storm water) as a type of sewage water. The EU Water Directive also points out the urban road runoff water as a pollutant source for ground water. Elevated levels of pollutant concentrations can be found in runoff water from catchment areas with dense traffic loads. Depending on road maintenance, use of studded tires, type of pavement, traffic load, velocity, type of vehicle, residential and industrial areas and tunnels, the degree of mobility of the pollutants will vary in the ambient air and the runoff water. An aspect that only to some extent has been elaborated on is the influence of pavement type and its wear with regards to the mobility of the pollutants. A possible treatment technique for polluted runoff water is the use of sedimentation and a filter for removal of dissolved and colloidal substances utilizing a batch sequenced mode of operation. The successful application of a batch sequenced treatment technique would depend on the “First flush” behavior of the catchment area. Along the Essingeleden motorway in Stockholm, with a yearly average traffic load of 120 000 vehicles per day, field trials and investigations of the treatment technique and first flush behavior is carried out along with assessment of generated sludge from storm water., QC 20120221

- Abstract
The conditions for handling of run-off water differs notably compared to the handling of potable water, sewage water and industrial effluent water. For conventional water treatment the time variations of flow and quality of the contaminated waters is well established and known. The legal aspects for conventional water production and treatment are clearly defined and not ambiguous. This is not the case for handling and treatment of run-off water. In the EU directive 1991/271/EEC run-off water is defined as sewage water. The EU Water Directive refers to 1991/271/EEC and points to run-off water as a pollutant source for ground water. Elevated levels of pollutant can be found in run-off water from catchment areas with dense traffic loads.

- Abstract
It is possible to recruit RNA polymerase II to a target promoter and, thus, activate transcription by fusing Mediator subunits to a DNA binding domain. To investigate functional interactions within Mediator, we have tested such fusions of the lexA DNA binding domain to Med1, Med2, Gal11, Srb7, and Srb10 in wild type, med1, med2, gal11, sin4, srb8, srb10, and srb11 strains. We found that lexA-Med2 and lexA-Gal11 are strong activators that are independent of all Mediator subunits tested. lexA-Srb10 is a weak activator that depends on Srb8 and Srb11. lexA-Med1 and lexA-Srb7 are both cryptic activators that become active in the absence of Srb8, Srb10, Srb11, or Sin4. An unexpected finding was that lexA-VP16 differs from Gal4-VP16 in that it is independent of the activator binding Mediator module. Both lexA-Med1 and lexA-Srb7 are stably associated with Med4 and Med8, which suggests that they are incorporated into Mediator. Med4 and Med8 exist in two mobility forms that differ in their association with lexA-Med1 and lexA-Srb7. Within purified Mediator, Med4 is present as a phosphorylated lower mobility form. Taken together, these results suggest that assembly of Mediator is a multistep process that involves conversion of both Med4 and Med8 to their low mobility forms.

The large number of signaling pathways and regulatory proteins that affect transcription highlights a need for funneling of information since transcription of all protein encoding genes is executed by the same set of general transcription factors and RNA polymerase II. This demand is met by large protein complexes such as Mediator that interact with the basic RNA polymerase II machinery and thus adds diversity simply by increasing the surface that is exposed to the incoming signals. The recent description of Mediator-like complexes in metazoans identifies it as a key player in transcriptional regulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The negative effects of stormwater discharges on receiving aquatic environments and the need for their purification were highlighted by the EU courts' "Weser-Ruling" in May 2020. The ruling stated the need for removal of dissolved pollutants. The decision justifies field studies for development of far-reaching methods for runoff treatment. In this in situ study, a standard sand was used as medium for road runoff filtration and removal of dissolved and particle-bound (< 0.45 µm) zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu), Data collected included 24 road runoff events, mimicking the flow variations and pollutant emissions over a seven-month period. The findings showed that filter sand can be used to remove Zn and Cu from road runoff in a gravity fed treatment system. The removal of total Zn and Cu was 93% and 67%, respectively. Dissolved Zn was efficiently removed by the sand (87%), however not Cu (19%). The sand efficiently removed total suspended solids (TSS) from maximum occurring 443 mg L-1 to below 5 mg L-1. No head loss due to the TSS loadings was observed. The initial studies show the sand's potential to remove the investigated metals, but in the longer term, effluent concentrations may exceed emission permit values., QC 20220426
