Diffuse pollution formed during a surface runoff on paved surfaces is source of heavy metals (HMs) various origin. This research study indicates the connection between bottom sediments retention tanks located urban streams and road sweeping wastes (RSW) that migrate to stormwater drainage systems with discharge tanks. Moreover, we test primary sources HMs in RSW by analysing mechanical (MW) produced vehicles order track relationship car parts deposited receiving from streets. To identify origin diverse tracking approaches were used: statistical methods, Pb isotope ratios, flag element ratio approach. MW presented very high content (max observed values mg/kg d.w.: 10477-Zn, 3512-Cu, 412-Pb, 3.35-Cd, 226-Ni, 633-Cr), while for was similar sediments. The total carcinogenic risk raises concerns due Cr content. Zn tyre wear traffic. Ni, Cr, Fe, Cd correlated shared common/similar PCA suggested Cu features quasi-independent behaviour. isotopic ratios indicated enrichment originating coal combustion, gasoline diesel excluded. characteristic within following ranges: 1.152–1.165 (206Pb/207Pb), 2.050–2.085 (208Pb/206Pb), 2.350–2.418 (208Pb/207Pb). complex analysis confirmed motorization HMs: Zn, Cd, except (coal combustion as main source) (non-uniform origin). results methods coherent, but alone brought important information allowing link atmospheric deposition products.
