Section snippets Material preparation and stormwater filtration system setup PEMPs and TWPs were passed through stainless steel sieves with mesh sizes of 230 μm and 250 μm, and particles within the range of 230–250 μm were specifically isolated for utilization in the experimental procedures in this study. Unaged PEMPs were purchased from Dongguan Zhongxin Plastic Co. LTD.
