Sources, Ionic Composition and Acidic Properties of Bulk and Wet Atmospheric Deposition in the Eastern Middle Adriatic Region.

ABSTRACT: Atmospheric bulk and wet deposition samples were collected simultaneously at the background coastal site in the Eastern Middle Adriatic region in order to assess the impact of major ions (Cl^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^2-, Na⁺, K⁺, NH₄⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺) on deposition acidity and distinguish the main sources. Higher ion levels were observed during the cold period, especially for Cl^-, Na⁺, Mg²⁺ and K⁺. Dust intrusion caused significant increases in levels of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and K⁺, while open-fire events increased the levels of K⁺. Deposition acidity showed seasonal differences as well as the influence of dust i
