| Abstract: | Background The Atacama Desert in Northern Chile is one of the most arid places on earth. However, fog occurs regularly at the coastal
mountain range and can be collected at different sites in Chile to supply settlements at the coast with freshwater. This is
also planned in the fog oasis Alto Patache (20°49′S, 70°09′W). For this pilot study, we collected fog water samples in July
and August 2008 for chemical analysis to find indications for its suitability for domestic use. |
