ABSTRACT

Atmospheric salt samples were collected on meshes over the sea, from which water soluble fractions were separated to determine Cl, Na, K, Mg, Ca and F. The contribution of sea spray and materials of continental origin to the atmospheric salt was discussed from the data obtained. In the light of the initial aim of the present investigation, some criticism was made on the way of approach and the methods employed including their check for the future extention of the present investigation.
