| Short description: |
This paper focuses on the treatment of
high molecular weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH), and the potential for bioswales and rain gardens to
mitigate contamination in urban settings is discussed. This
paper is designed to serve as a point of reference for planners,
public officials, and ecologists interested in exploring what
contribution biofiltration and phytoremediation can make to
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mitigation of urban run-off
