| Abstract | Alkylbenzenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons were determined in rain and snow collected during 1985 at an urban site in Switzerland. Although great variations in concentrations were found for each season and type of precipitation event, concentrations and wet depositions of the investigated compounds were significantly lower in summer than in winter precipitation. Snow contained the highest concentrations of alkylbenzenes, i.e. total concentrations of up to 10μgℓ−1. Non-polar organic chemicals, measured sequentially during three rain events, exhibited a variety of temporal trends which can best be explained by changing sources and moving air masses. |
