Stormwater runoff from urban and suburban areas may carry hazardous pollutants like metals and pharmaceuticals into aquatic ecosystems. The presence of zinc oxide engineered nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in urban stormwater and bioretention systems raises concerns about increased stormwater toxicity and reduced treatment infrastructure performance. Additional research evaluating the impact of ZnO-NPs on stormwater toxicity and metal accumulation in wetland plants was also conducted.
Stormwater runoff from urban and suburban areas can carry hazardous pollutants directly into aquatic ecosystems. These pollutants, such as metals, nutrients, aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, are very toxic to aquatic organisms. Recently, significant amounts of zinc oxide engineered nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been detected in urban stormwater and its bioretention systems. This raises concerns about a potential increase of stormwater toxicity and reduced performance of the treatment infrastructures. To tackle these issues, we developed a simple, low-cost bioretention system to remediate stormwater and retain ZnO-NPs. This system retained up to 73% Zn, 66% Cu, and >99% Pb. However, the removal efficiency for Pb was lower after adding ZnO-NPs to the system, possibly due to the remobilization of Pb phosphates. The effect of ZnO-NPs on stormwater toxicity and metal accumulation in wetland plants was also evaluated.
