Abstract
In the paper the results of urban runoff chemical composition study in different seasonal periods and functional zones in Minsk are discussed. Increasing of contaminant concentrations in the receiving water downstream in urban area because of urban runoff impact are shown. The main pollutants (chlorides, natrium, suspended solids, heavy metals and oil products) of urban runoff are revealed. The problems of urban runoff treatment in Minsk are also under consideration.
