Stormwater runoff carries hydrocarbons, PAHs, and other pollutants that can compromise soil health, groundwater quality, and drinking water resources if left untreated. Discover how OSMORIA® depolluting aquatextiles use active biodegradation to improve infiltrated water quality, protect underground ecosystems, and help municipalities, engineers, and project owners meet increasingly demanding environmental regulations.

Sponge cities and nature-based stormwater solutions are transforming urban water management by promoting infiltration, retention, and groundwater recharge. However, infiltrating polluted runoff can transfer hydrocarbons and PAHs directly into soils and aquifers. Discover why clean infiltration is essential and how depolluting aquatextiles complement nature-based solutions to create truly sustainable stormwater infrastructure.

Hydrocarbons and PAHs are among the most persistent and harmful pollutants found in stormwater runoff. Explore their environmental and health impacts, the limitations of conventional treatment systems, and why source-control solutions such as depolluting aquatextiles are emerging as a critical tool for protecting water quality and meeting regulatory requirements.

Runoff water from roads, parking lots, and industrial areas carries hydrocarbons and PAHs that threaten groundwater, aquatic ecosystems, soil biodiversity, and human health. Learn why managing stormwater pollution at the source is critical and how innovative treatment solutions can help meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
