Modelling city-scale facade leaching of biocide by rainfall

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Chiara Rota

A methodology is presented for estimating, at the city scale, the amount of biocide released from facades during rain events. The methodology consists of two elements. First, leaching of a single facade is simulated using a two-region model, one region for ...

Lessivage des polluants urbains et changement climatique : l’influence des modèles

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Sébastien Kramer

Rainfall for the next century will be influenced by global warming. These modified rainfalls will have influences on rainfall runoff. In order to analyze these impacts, this study compared different buildup and washoff functions with several future rainfal ...

Upscaling of a two-region façade-leaching model to the city scale

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

Painted facades are protected by paints that contain biocides as a protection against degradation. These facades are leached of biocides by rainfall, albeit at low concentrations. Nevertheless, at the city scale the leachable surface area of building facad ...

Stochastic modeling of salt accumulation in the root zone due to capillary flux from brackish groundwater

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

[1] Groundwater can be a source of both water and salts in semiarid areas, and therefore, capillary pressure-induced upward water flow may cause root zone salinization. To identify which conditions result in hazardous salt concentrations in the root zone, ...

Effects of short-term ecosystem experimental warming on water-extractable organic matter in an ombrotrophic Sphagnum peatland (Le Forbonnet, France)

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

In a future warmer world, peatlands may change from a carbon sink function to a carbon source function. This study tracks changes in water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) after 1 year of in situ experimental warming using open top chambers (OTCs). WEOM w ...

Effects of different soil amendments on phytoremediation from a cadmium and DDTs co-contaminated soil by Sedum alfredii (Cd hyperaccumulator) co-cropped with Ricinus communis (DDT accumulator)

Pauline Grandjean

Soil pollution is a major environmental problem actually in China and in the world. It increases environmental risks and can affect humans through the food chain. Like solutions to clean-up the soils are generally expensive and can have side effects on env ...
