Analysis of Urban Water Quality – Annotated Bibliography Assignment

This annotated bibliography examines the multifaceted issue of urban water quality through the analysis of five research sources. The student delves into the impact of heavy metals from road-deposited sediments, exploring how minute fractions contribute to water pollution. The analysis includes an examination of permeable concrete pavements, highlighting their environmental benefits and durability. The bibliography also considers the role of road dust emissions, pavement characteristics, and traffic in environmental pollution. Further, it reviews the impact of heavy metal pollution in traffic areas and investigates the effects of non-potable water use for pavement cleaning on pedestrian exposure to airborne contaminants. Each entry provides a detailed summary, critical analysis, and assessment of the relevance of the source to the broader context of urban water quality, with a focus on pollution sources and environmental impacts.

the urban areas. The article discusses the ways in which the minute fractions of heavy metal are
added to the sediments in the water bodies that are made of road deposits. The article discusses
the measures by which the amount of the heavy materials within the water might be calculated.
The concerned paper highlights the various factors that lead up to the increase in the pollution
within the given area as well. The article in discussion highlights the findings that are derived
from the data of over twenty cities that are situated in the Chinese territorial boundaries. The
majority of the issues that are highlighted within the given article in discussion refers to those
that deal with the environmental pollution alongside the water pollution that has been taking
place all over the world. The article highlights the increase in the water pollution due to the
addition of the various waste materials to the sources of water. This in turn has been affecting the
concerned residents of the area. The article further discusses the fatality of the situation and the
various factors that might be affecting the health of the people concerned. The author further
argues on the fact that the high amount of the heavy metals that tend to be incorporated within
the road deposit sediments tend to be present in the water of the area. The article might prove to
be helpful in the current research due to the fact that the article provides proper insight on the
matters that are related to the increase of the number of pollutants and the role that is played by
the materials in the aggravation of the pollution levels within the country. The article provides
proper information as to the ways in which the pollution of the land bears a relation to the
pollution caused in water and the various ill-effects of pollution.

various environmental benefits that would arise due to the implementation of these issues. The
authors of the article tend to implement the various benefits of the development of the
implementation of the permeable concrete pavements or the PCPs within the given area. The
article highlights the ways in which the implementation of the given permeable concrete
pavements or the PCPs would assist the development and the maintenance of the sustainability as
well as the environmental factors that had been reported. The article had also been discussing the
factors that are related to the implementation of the proper environmental issues inclusive of the
issues in the water pollution as is being faced by the concerned organization. The article is
helpful for the completion of the given research project as it helps the readers develop a proper
knowledge regarding the issue of the environmental pollution that is being faced all over the
world in the current situation. The article highlights the increase in the number of pollutants that
are presented within the given areas. The majority of the issues that are highlighted and
discussed within the article attempts to highlight the various factors that are related to the
pollution and the contamination that is generally observed within the varied sources of water.

Padoan et al. (2018) in the concerned article entitled “An empirical model to predict road
dust emissions based on pavement and traffic characteristics” discusses the role that is played by
the terrain of the road and the other areas in the environmental pollution caused by these agents.
The article discusses the measures by which the amount of the heavy materials within the water
might be calculated. The concerned paper highlights the various factors that lead up to the
increase in the pollution within the given area as well. The majority of the issues that are
highlighted within the given article in discussion refers to those that deal with the environmental
pollution alongside the water pollution that has been taking place all over the world. The article
highlights the increase in the water pollution due to the addition of the various waste materials to
the sources of water. The article highlights the increase in the water pollution due to the addition
of the various waste materials to the sources of water. This in turn has been affecting the
concerned residents of the area. The paper attempts a discussion on the major harmful effects of
the road dust on the pollution that is faced by the concerned organization. The article highlights

exposure of pedestrians to airborne contaminants associated with non-potable water
use for pavement cleaning. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 23(7),
6091-6101.
Seidl et al. (2016) in the article entitled “Evaluating exposure of pedestrians to airborne
contaminants associated with non-potable water use for pavement cleaning” discusses the ways
in which the climate changes have been affecting the daily affairs as are being undertaken by the
concerned officials. The authors tend to highlight the fact that the present conditions within the
world have been calling for a replacement source of drinking water as well as a source that
would help in the other large-scale cleaning purposes. The authors state that the cleaning water is
one of the major requirements of the present-day market scenario. The authors further state that
the lack of the proper source of cleaning water as well as an area of purification of the source
might often lead to a huge amount of pollution within the given area. The article highlights the
fact that there has been a severe dearth of the cleaning water within the planet which has in turn
led to the conditions wherein there is a high level of the water pollution as is faced by the planet.
The authors further highlight the fact that the contaminated water formed as a result of the
cleaning purposes have often led to the discovery of bacteria that might be fatal for the city
dwellers as well. The majority of the researches state that the bacteria that have been found to be
present within the sewage waters and the cleaning water might seem to be harmless with a
smaller period of exposure. However, the studies suggest that the longer exposure to the bacteria
might often lead to the harmful effects on the concerned human beings. The article further helps
