Methods of assessment of stormwater sediments quality

Methods of assessment of stormwater sediments quality

Concentration of heavy metal (cadmium, copper, chromium, nickel, lead and zinc) in sediments collected from the stormwater treatment plant located in the urbanised catchment were investigated using geo-accumulation index and enrichment factor to determine metal accumulation and pollution status. Tot...
