Eatough, D J

The research being conducted under this contract is designed to identify concentrations of sulfite, sulfate, trace metals, and nitrite species in aerosols produced by smelting and fossil fuel industries, establish the conditions (metal content, fuel type, SO/sub 2/ levels, temperature, humidity) and mechanism(s) of sulfite formation and study the stability of the various sulfur species in the ambient atmosphere. Research completed to date has resulted in the development of techniques for the identification of SO/sub 3/ and SO/sub 4/ in effluents from a Cu smelter and from fossil fuel combustion.
