Mesure D’Aerosols Dans La Foret Des Vosges (France)

On the French acid rains program DEFORPA (Deperissement des Forets attribue a la Pollution Atmospherique), we have to characterize the atmospheric aerosol in the Vosges Forest, in the east of France. This paper concerns field measurements we have made in September 1985 and provides results on the particles concentration, size distribution (between 0.01 µm and 15 µm) and chemical composition. They are related to the regional meteorological conditions and the gaseous pollutants concentrations.
