<p>While few field studies of the pollutant removal capacity of bioswales are available from cold climate regions like Ontario, it can be assumed that they would perform similar to [[bioretention cells]].  Bioretention provides effective removal for many pollutants as a result of sedimentation, filtering, plant uptake, soil adsorption, and microbial processes.  It is important to note that there is a relationship between the water balance and water quality functions.  If a bioswale infiltrates and evaporates 100% of the flow from a site, then there is essentially no pollution leaving the site in surface runoff.  Furthermore, treatment of infiltrated runoff will continue to occur as it moves through the native soils.  </p>
