Abstract

Gross pollutants (GPs) in storm water runoff have increased the number of harmful contaminants as a result of complete and incomplete decomposition of organic and non-organic matters. The addition of adsorbents may enhance the performance of GPTs as an on-site treatment. However, there is no complete review reporting the performance of GPTs with adsorbents. Hence, this review presents the preliminary process of GPTs installation, performance of GPTs in dissolved pollutants removal as well as the potential of zeolite and chitosan as adsorbent media within GPTs.
