Comparing Investigation Of Aerosols And WetDeposit Samples From Leipzig And The RuralMeasurement Station Melpitz

Aerosol and wet deposit samples from two sampling locations were analysed and compared. Wet deposit samples are characterised by volume, acidity, conductivity, and main water soluble ions. Aerosol samples (PM-10) are characterised by mass, soot content, and ionic content. Statistical methods are used to describe and compare analytical results. Dependent on the great changes in industrial production, traffic and agriculture in the formerly GDR we found significant decrease for SO " and Ca^ and increase for NH/ and NO/
