This paper aimed to quantify pollutants connected to sediments of different sizes in impermeable surfaces in three sampling campaigns. Dry sediments collections were dane on Marquês do Herval ad Rigoberto Duarte streets, both located on the Cancela Creek basin in Santa Maria county, RS, as well as hidrosedimental monitoring at the drainage system escape on Marquês do Herval St. Dry sediments samples prior to rainfall, as well as surface runoff sediment samples during rainfall, were separated into 4 granulometric bands (≤63μm, 63-250μm, 250-500μm e ≥500μm). Organic pollution, nutrient and heavy metal contents were evaluated for each granulometric band by determining the concentration of the following parameters: oxygen chemical demand, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, chloride, fluoride, copper, nickel, zinc and lead. Granulometry lower than 63μm represented on average 2,6% of the total sediment content for Marquês do Herval St. and 3,5% for Rigoberto Duarte St. Granulometry above 250μm represented on average 70% of the sediment content for both streets. Heavy metal samples showed higher concentrations in granulometry below 63μm. In dry sediment samples, the highest sulphate, phosphate and chloride contents were found in granulometry above 500μm. Ammmonia, nitrate, lead and zinc are associated with the 63-250μm granulometric band.
