RESUMO
Specialized sampling equipment and ultra-clean analytical methodology were employed to quantify the concentrations or fluxes of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) in ambient air, precipitation, runoff, sanitary sewer, and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) influent. The relationship between the atmospheric deposition and runoff on controlled surfaces were explored for the three pollutants. The impact of the atmospheric deposition and runoff to the headwork loading of the WWTP were investigated. Atmospheric deposition was found to be the primary source of the mass of Cd, Hg, and PCBs in runoff from the controlled surfaces. Neither atmospheric deposition nor the runoff was the main sources of the three pollutants to the Detroit Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Wet weather flow contributes the main portion of the Cd, Hg, and PCBs loading to the WWTP.
