Abstract

To determine the dry deposition of atmospheric constituents several procedures have been described in the literature. Expenditure and chances of success are quite different and depend strongly on the attendant conditions, the constituent to be measured and the quality of the available technique. In any case, the quantification of dry deposition is much more difficult and subject to errors as compared to that of wet deposition.
