摘要

Trace and heavy metals are among the most ubiquitous pollutants in surface waters and sediments. Nonpoint source runoff is recognized as a leading source of impairment to aquatic life support and other beneficial uses. Runoff transports a complex mixture of pollutants and suspended particles into surface waters, where the fate depends significantly on physical speciation. The goal of this dissertation was to provide a framework for characterizing the physical and chemical speciation of trace metals in urban runoff.; This goal was accomplished first by studying the particle size separation characteristics of 0.45 mum membrane filters and tangential flow filtration systems (0.1 mum and 3000 MW cutoffs) used to separate colloidal particles from dissolved constituents. This research shows that 0.45 mum membrane filtration has distinct limitations in size fractionation studies, and that a significant amount of colloidal metals are present in the 0.1 to 1.0 mum size range in freshwaters.; Suspended sediments were fractionated at 80 mum and 20 mum by membrane filtration. Application of size fractionation techniques to urban stormwater shows that metals in urban runoff (for a winter storm on the Naugatuck River below Torrington, CT and for a fall storm on Steele Brook, Watertown, CT) were present mainly in the 20 to 80 mum size range. During storm events, colloidal organic carbon and associated metal concentrations responded differently depending on the source of organic carbon. Cu speciation, measured at an urban and upstream site in Steele Brook by electrochemical methods, showed that concentrations of free copper were typically 10 times higher at the urban location.; Assessment of the state of Connecticut's total maximum daily load (TMDL) program showed that urban runoff and other nonpoint sources are the greatest source of impairment to surface waters in the state. Connecticut's TMDL program does not adequately prioritize nonpoint source control, and most TMDL actions involve localized, single source impairments. A case study of the Steele Brook TMDL analysis shows that impairment exists even after the removal of point source inputs, and that urban runoff to Steele Brook may provide the remaining source of impairment.
