Effect of biochar-soil interactions on stormwater-derived trace organic contaminant fate in amended bioretention systems

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate how interactions between biochar and soil influence the fate of trace organic contaminants from stormwater.
• Focused on biochar-soil interactions in bioretention systems.
• Analyzed stormwater-derived trace organic contaminants.
• Utilized experimental setups to simulate stormwater management scenarios.
• Biochar significantly reduced the concentration of trace organic contaminants.
• Enhanced retention capabilities of amended bioretention systems for stormwater runoff.
• Indicated improved water quality results due to biochar application.
