Abstract

This study investigated the infiltration management of road runoff micropollutants using large-scale metabolomic analysis coupled with soil physico-chemical property analysis. A road runoff infiltration system comprising a sedimentation pond and an infiltration pond was analyzed for 2406 micropollutants. The infiltration pond's crucial role in preventing environmental contamination was confirmed, and a model correlating micropollutant abundance and soil properties was proposed. Sand in the infiltration pond was found to be key in retaining 86% of micropollutant abundance, suggesting a readily applicable model for road runoff management.
