Abstract: | The concentrations of sulphur dioxide, nitric acid, nitrous acid, hydrogen chloride, ammonia and sulphate, nitrate, chloride and ammonium in aerosols were measured continuously for two years at the rural site of Rotenkamp near Braunschweig in south-east Lower Saxony. The level of air pollution registered is typical for rural areas near industrial areas in Central Europe. Long-range transport of polluted air masses from Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony affects air quality when high-pressure areas over Eastern Europe result in easterly winds and reduced vertical exchange due to low inversion layers. |
