Biocides used in building façades to prevent potential growth of algae, fungi and bacteria
are of major concern regarding the quality of stormwater runoff. The aim of the study was to …

The performance of stormwater quality improvement devices (SQIDs), commonly based on
sedimentation and media filtration, is generally examined either at lab scale or in field tests. …

Separation of particulate matter (PM) is the most important process to achieve a reduction of
contaminants present in road runoff. To further improve knowledge about influencing factors …

Stormwater quality improvement devices use sedimentation as a pre-treatment step to
separate contaminant laden particulate matter (PM) from traffic area runoff. Multiple studies …

Since stormwater runoff from zinc roofs is polluted with high concentrations of zinc (Zn), runoff
treatment is recommended in order to avoid harmful influences to the ecosystem. For the …

Current knowledge about the microbial communities that occur in urban road runoff is scarce.
Road runoff of trafficked roads can be heavily polluted and is treated by stormwater quality …

Storm water quality improvement devices (SQIDs) mitigate the deteriorating effects of traffic-related
contaminants, especially heavy metals. Many SQIDs consist of a settling tank to …

Within the scope of this dissertation, factors influencing the treatment of road runoff using
stormwater quality improvement devices (SQIDs) were investigated. The specific research …

Background Radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) is one of the severe long-term side effects of
radiation therapy (RT) with a crucial impact on the development of postoperative wound …

Bacterial resistance against conventional antibiotics is increasing. This introduces challenges,
for example, in the treatment of infected surgical wounds. Host defence peptides (HDP), …
