Abstract
⺠Deposition can introduce heavy metals into green roof systems. ⺠Materials and substrates used in green roofs can represent sources of heavy metals. ⺠An Arkalyte:pine bark substrate tested in field green roof systems leached metals. ⺠Metal leaching from the substrate was variable with time and deposition and not dependent on depth. ⺠Metal leaching from this substrate may adversely impact urban water quality.
