Researchers report in this paper some of the results for sulfate, nitrate, and related ionic species taken from a detailed chemical and meteorolgical data base that has been accumulated for the New York subregion since 1976 and that is generally referred to as the New York Summer and Winter Aerosol Studies. Researchers then describe some of the experimental advances in sampling and analysis of aerosol sulfur and nitrogen compounds and related gases that offer promise for measurement of all components of the atmospheric sulfate-nitrate-SO/sub 2/-NO/sub x/-NH/sub 3/ system with time resolution of a few minutes. Additional analytical methodologies for reduced sulfur compounds in aerosols, and for H/sub 2/S and othe sulfur-containing gases of biogenic origin, have been developed but are outside the scope of this paper.
