Abstract This paper reviews techniques and equipment for collecting
precipitation samples from the atmosphere (fog and cloud water)
and from atmospheric deposits (dew, hoarfrost, and rime) that are
suitable for the evaluation of atmospheric pollution. It discusses
the storage and preparation of samples for analysis and also
presents bibliographic information on the concentration ranges of
inorganic and organic compounds in the precipitation and
atmospheric deposit samples. | ||||
