Description of sample:
Runoff water samples were analysed for twenty metal(loid)s in total (“Tot”) and dissolved (0.45 µm; “Diss”) fraction, together with key physicochemical parameters including total suspended solids (TSS), total and dissolved organic carbon (TOC and DOC), turbidity (Turb), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature.

Geographic description:
The database comprises 15 runoff monitoring sites under six land-use categories across Sweden, representing diverse (three) climatic regions and conditions: - The Green area category was located in Östersund (Os2), characterized by parkland and urban forest with one residential street. - Industrial/Commercial areas include two sites in Umeå (Um1 and Um2), both comprising combined industrial and commercial zones, and one site in Växjö (Va2), which includes industrial and commercial activities intersected by a roadway. - Mixed urban areas encompass a site in Växjö (Va1), integrating residential, industrial, recreational, and commercial uses with major roads; a site in Östersund (Os1) in a central district with institutional buildings, parkland, roads, and housing; a site in Östersund (Os3) around a hospital complex with adjacent parking lots and streets; and lastly a site in Sundsvall (Su1), which was a city-center catchment with parks and buildings featuring copper roofs. - Residential sites include a site in Östersund (Os4), consisting of single-family homes on grassed lots, and another site in Sundsvall (Su3) with a mixed residential district adjacent to a heavily trafficked road. - The Parking/Road category comprises a catchment in Stockholm (St), dominated by carparks and urban roads, and another site in Umeå (Um3) with a dedicated parking lot. - Main Road/Highway sites were located in Sundsvall (Su2), a highway bridge and major road corridor; in Luleå (Lu), a main road; and in Malmö (Ma), a main road with paved sidewalks.
