Therefore, in this work, road and parking lot runoff from four sites with contrasting traffic levels were analyzed for a very broad spectrum of molecules and elements. A total of 128 pollutants and micropollutants were monitored, including inorganic (n = 41) and organic (n = 87) pollutants. Both the dissolved and particulate phases were considered. For a reduced number of samples, non-targeted screening by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was carried out. For targeted screening, the contamination profiles were quite homogeneous, but the concentrations significantly differed between the different sites. Sites with the highest traffic density exhibited the highest concentrations for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some traffic-related metals, alkylphenols and phthalates. Overall, for most micropollutants, the parking lot runoff exhibited the lowest concentrations, and the specificity of this site was confirmed by its HRMS fingerprint. Non-target screening allowed the sites to be discriminated based on the occurrence of specific compounds. Unlike the results of targeted screening, the HRMS intra-site variability was lower than its inter-site variability. Unknown substances were tentatively identified, either characteristic of each site or ubiquitous of all samples. 394 10.3390/w14030394 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/14/3/394 Micropollutants in Urban Runoff from Traffic Areas en Number: 3 2022/1 14 3 Water Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute JohnnyGasperi JulienLe Roux Steven Deshayes SophieAyrault LouiseBordier Lila Boudahmane Hélène Budzinski EmilieCaupos Nadège Caubrière Kelsey Flanagan MartinGuillon NinaHuynh PierreLabadie Laurent Meffray PascaleNeveu Chandirane Partibane Julien Paupardin MohamedSaad LucieVarnede Marie-Christine Gromaire
