Deposition of petroleum hydrocarbons with sediment trapped in snow in roadside areas

Deposition of petroleum hydrocarbons with sediment trapped in snow in roadside areas

Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) deposition rates were determined along various roads using the natural snow cover as deposition trap. Daily deposition rates decreased with distance from the roads, which coincided with long-term TPH accumulation in roadside soils. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM...
