Mar 6, 2017 · Beyond the Source analyzes source watersheds of more than 4,000 of the largest cities around the world, and finds that four out of five cities can reduce sediment and nutrient pollution by a meaningful amount through forest protection, reforestation and improved agricultural practices.
Jan 5, 2024 · Chemical oxidation emerges as a pivotal technique in sediment decontamination, capitalizing on the potent reactivity of oxidants like hydrogen peroxide (Li et al., 2022a), persulfates (Li et al., 2021), and ozone (Aluthgun Hewage et al., 2021) to effectively degrade persistent organic pollutants.
Mar 8, 2022 · The goal, Baker says, was to quantify the removal of nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen by street sweeping and determine whether enhanced street sweeping—up to four times per month—could reduce urban runoff pollution at its source.
