Nitrogen sources in combined sewers are briefly summarised. Some evidence of biodegradation including the ammonification of sewer sediment has been found from a new interpretation of field experimental data known from the literature. Gravel and sand sediments in combined sewers were found to be potential sources of ammonia, which is discharged through overflows.
