Description

Water soluble pollutants in the atmosphere are incorporated into fog and their concentrations in the fog generated in the polluted air may be very high. Waldman et al. (1982) have reported that the pH of the polluted fog water is very low and the concentrations of ions in fog water are usually much higher than those in rain water. Inorganic ions in fog water have been measured to clarify the acidification mechanism of fog water (Weathers, et al., 1988; Hosono et al., 1994; Gundel et al., 1994). However, incorporation of many trace organic contaminants into fog has been ignored. Only a few measurements for carboxylic acids (Kawamura and Kaplan, 1984; Winiwarter and Puxbaum, 1988; Suzuki, 1997) and carbonyls (Grosjean and Wright, 1983; Hosono et al., 1994) in fog water have been reported.
