THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF INDIVIDUAL RAINFALLS
Abstract
The ch mical composition of individual cases of rainfall was analyzed at three different sampling stations. The locations showed a great variety with respect to altitude, climate and level of indus rial and a hropogeneous pollution. A relation between the concentration of trace substances in rainwater and the quantity of rain was found which obeys a power law. The amount of trace substances in rainwater shows a marked increase after a preceding period of dry days. Changes of the concentration of atmospheric aerosols and trace gases caused by t e effect of precipitation are described. (Author)
