Summary

Urban stormwater was found to carry a range of hydrophilic trace organic contaminants including pharmaceuticals and pesticides at concentrations with potential toxicological relevance, and current green stormwater infrastructure may not adequately remove them. The findings highlight a need for enhanced stormwater treatment to protect receiving water bodies.

Urban stormwater transports hydrophilic trace organic contaminants that need study to ensure safe stormwater discharge or stormwater harvesting for water supply.
