Continuous runoff quality monitoring was conducted for one month at urban highway drainage with an area of 8.4 ha. Dynamic change of suspended solids and heavy metal concentrations were investigated during first flush periods, taking the particle size distribution into consideration. Except for Pb, the concentrations of TSS and heavy metals in runoff were within the range of the EMC reported in recent highway runoff research. Particle-bound heavy metals (Zn, Pb, and Cu) accounted for more significant pollutant loads than soluble fractions. Their content decreased with increasing total SS concentration in runoff samples. The results of particle size distribution (PSD) analysis of runoff samples indicate that high TSS concentration samples contained coarser particles. Based on the PSD results, a stepwise wash-off phenomenon of TSS under varying runoff rate conditions was explained by the different washoff behavior of fine (< 20 mm) and coarser particles.

The particle size distribution of soil is very importantto its physical and mechanical property. The ordinary method of the particlesize distribution analysis is based on shaking the soil through a set of sieves.But it will be difficult to use the method while there have particles largerthan the biggest aperture of the size sieves. Then the digital image processingwas used to solve the problem here. The processing technologies, such as imageanalysis and enhancement, deblurring, edge detection were studied to analyzethe image of soil particles. Then the image processing method was used to getthe particle size distribution accurately. Though some promotions need to becarried out in the further study, it is can be found that the image processingmethod is more efficiently than the traditional method.
