Abstract
⺠We studied an infiltration wetland for retaining PAHs and metals from road water. ⺠The system retained the PAHs very well, with retention efficiencies of 90-95%. ⺠Standards for PAHs were surpassed in the road water but never in the effluent. ⺠Most metal concentrations were lower than the standards in the effluent. ⺠De-icing salts strongly increased the concentrations of Cu and Zn in the effluent.
