ABSTRACT
Contaminant leaching from asphalt pavements poses a significant environmental concern, potentially damaging soil and groundwater quality. The growing interest in incorporating recycled materials in asphalt pavements has further raised concerns over the potential environmental hazards due to contaminant leaching. Consequently, this paper offers a comprehensive review of the literature over the past three decades structured into six sections groundwater contamination via leaching, methodologies for evaluating leaching, analysis of contaminants, contaminants and leaching from road materials incorporating recycled waste, other factors affecting leaching of pollutants from asphalt pavements, and mathematical models to predict leaching from asphalt pavements. Despite the importance of addressing leaching issues, there is a lack of standardised leaching tests and guidelines specific to asphalt materials, limited attention to evaluating contaminants beyond heavy metals and PAHs in asphalt leachates, insufficient understanding of optimal instrument parameters for asphalt leachate analysis, and a scarcity of mathematical models to predict future leaching potential.
