Effects of lead (Pb) in stormwater runoff on the microbial characteristics and organics removal in bioretention systems
TLDR
The results suggested that the long-term accumulation of heavy metals in bioretention system would affect microbial degradation function and pollutants removal, causing the concern for theLong-term maintenance of the biorentention system.About:

Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
An extraction method for measuring soil microbial biomass c
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fumigation on organic C extractable by 0.5 m K2SO4 were examined in a contrasting range of soils and it was shown that both ATP and organic C rendered decomposable by CHCl3 came from the soil microbial biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix regional integration to quantify spectra for dissolved organic matter.
TL;DR: Aromatic carbon and the presence of specific aromatic compounds resulted in EEMs that aided in differentiating wastewater effluent DOM from drinking water DOM, and the highest cumulative EEM volume was observed for hydrophobic neutral DOM fractions.
