Abstract

Abstract Elevated salinity in stormwater runoff may adversely impact the efficacy of stormwater management practices (SMPs) in intercepting contaminants via changing the stability of suspended particles as well as the fate and transport of their associated contaminants. Field-collected soil samples were employed to characterize the impacts of salinity on suspended particles. Varying concentrations (10 mM to 1000 mM) of chloride salts (NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2) were applied to suspended particle samples to assess the changes in particle size distribution (PSD) and metal desorption from particles. The concentration of fine particles (d
