AB  - EMCs represent the concentration of a specific pollutant contained in stonn water runoff coming from a particular land use type within a watershed. EMCs are reported as a mass of pollutant per unit volume of water (usually mg/L).These numbers are generally calculated from local stonn water monitoring data. Since collecting EMCs value may require highly financial expenses, researchers or regulators will often use values that are already available in the literature. Due to the specific climatologic and physiographic characteristics of individual watersheds, urban land uses can exhibit a wide range of variability in pollutants export. This paper will review and presents a selection of local and oversea EMCs data that have published in journal articles and government reports, as well as previous literature reviews done on the subject.
