Metal elements and water-soluble anion concentrations in winter fog water in Nanjing
"Fog water samples during six heavy fog events were collected at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology(NUIST) from 15 November 2007 to 31 December 2007. Concentrations of five water-soluble anions and fourteen metal elements were detected by ion chromatography and plasma emission spectrometry. The results showed that the pH values ranged from 4.64 to 6.88 among these fog water samples. The average SO2-4 anion concentration(2864.9 µmol·L-1) was the highest,followed by Cl-(1584.4 µmol·L-1) and NO-3(736.0 µmol·L-1). The average concentration of heavy metal elements Cu,Ni,Pb,Cd and Cr were 2.30,1.46,0.42,0.41 and 0.37 µmol·L-1 respectively while the Ca,K,Na,Mg,Al and Zn concentrations were much higher. The concentration of metal elements in fog water was high at the initial fog stage,then decreased with the fog development,but increased significantly after sunrise during the peak traffic period. Obvious diurnal variation of NO-2 was manifested as higher values at night,but very low or undetectable levels after sunrise. The average pH of fog water(6.20) was higher than rain water(4.91) ,but the conductivity of fog water was 10.5 times higher than that of rain water. The concentration of heavy metal elements(Cd,Cr,Ni,Cu and Pb) and water-soluble anions(SO2-4,NO-3,Cl-) in fog water was far higher than rain water. Therefore the air pollution in fog areas was higher than on rainy days.

In comparison with stated normal amounts of aluminum found in the air.

(Quote) “…..Levels of aluminum in the air generally range from 0.005 to 0.18 micrograms (1 microgram, ?g, equals a millionth of a gram, 1 gram equals 0.0022 pound) of aluminum per cubic meter of air (0.005–0.18 ?g/m3 or 0.00018 mg/L) , depending on location, weather conditions, and level of industrial activity in the area. Most of the aluminum in the air is in the form of small suspended particles of soil (dust). Aluminum levels in urban and industrial areas may be higher and can range from 0.4 to 8.0 ?g/m3 ….”
