A simplified method is proposed for determining the potential load of heavy metals (HMs) derived from the wash-off caused by surface runoff on road-deposited sediment (RDS). The method consists of three phases: (i) characterization of RDS load wash-off, (ii) assessment of HM load in dry weather, and (iii) application of a wash-off equation. Two processes were included in the wash-off equation: HM transport (solid fraction) and HM leaching (dissolved fraction). The average wash-off of HMs ranges from 16.6 to 46.3%, relative to the total mass of HMs associated with dry-weather RDS (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd, Fe, Mn, Co, and Ba). Cd, Mn, and Zn presented the highest wash-off in the areas studied. The size fraction below 250μm contributed an average of 86.7% of potential HM load washed-off from RDS. Based on the phenomena included in the wash-off equation, it was observed the following order of precedence: transport of RDS<250μm, leaching of RDS<250μm, and leaching of RDS≥250μm. Solid and dissolved fractions contributed 70.7 and 29.3% of the potential HM load washed-off by runoff from RDS, respectively. The proposed method serves as a management tool for road HM pollution during rain.
提出了一种简化方法,用于确定由路面沉积物(RDS)表面径流冲刷引起的重金属(HM)潜在负荷。该方法包括三个阶段:(i)RDS 负荷冲刷特性描述,(ii)干季 HM 负荷评估,以及(iii)冲刷方程的应用。冲刷方程包括两个过程:HM 传输(固相)和 HM 浸出(溶解相)。相对于干季 RDS 中与 HM 相关的总质量,HM 的平均冲刷率在 16.6%至 46.3%之间(Pb、Zn、Cu、Cr、Ni、Cd、Fe、Mn、Co 和 Ba)。在所研究的区域中,Cd、Mn 和 Zn 的冲刷率最高。粒径小于 250μm 的部分平均贡献了从 RDS 冲刷出的潜在 HM 负荷的 86.7%。根据冲刷方程中包含的现象,可以观察到以下优先顺序:RDS<250μm 的传输、RDS<250μm 的浸出以及 RDS≥250μm 的浸出。径流从 RDS 冲刷出的潜在 HM 负荷中,固相和溶解相分别贡献了 70.7%和 29.3%。该方法可作为管理降雨期间道路 HM 污染的工具。
