Street Dust: Implications for Stormwater and Air Quality, and Environmental Management Through Street Sweeping
Street dust is composed of particles that arise from motor vehicles (e.g., tire debris, emission-related particulates), local soils, and road pavement (Yeung et al. 2003). These materials are commingled with larger debris, including discarded trash, lawn clippings, fallen leaves and branches, and other detritus (Fig. 1). The nature and composition of street dust is expected to vary widely based on local climate, geology, population and traffic density, infrastructure, and other factors. Maintenance sand or road salt used in inclement weather is a source of primary granular material and can contribute to street dust through mechanical abrasion of the road surface (Kupiainen et al. 2003; Gertler et al. 2006. Kuhns et al. 2003; USGS 2013).
