Pollutant Removal in Stormwater by Woodchips

As urbanization continues, water pollution is of increasing concern for human health and the environment. Water contaminants common in urban stormwater include nutrients, metals, suspended solids, pesticides, pathogens. The search an inexpensive readily available material that can effectively remove ongoing. Studies have shown woodchips are a promising many different contaminants, including these emerging concern. type wood shape impact removal efficiencies due to partitioning coefficients capillary action. This review compiles studies on ability types Overall, literature demonstrated effective could be implemented stormwater.
