AuthorsCarapeto, C. and Purchase, D.
Abstract

Heavy metals are major inorganic components in urban runoff. Constructed wetlands remove heavy metals by several processes such as precipitation, uptake by living organisms, adsorption and complexation. Relatively little information was available regarding the efficiency of metal removal and the distribution of heavy metals in a constructed wetland. This paper aims to address these issues by examining the metal contents in water and sediments over a six-month period including data collected during a storm event.
