摘要：

The size distribution and chemical composition of atmospheric nitrate particles were investigated. A variety of size distributions of nitrate was measured in Nagoya, Japan. Air samples were collected and size-fractionated in cascade impactors. Size-classified particles were extracted with water and alcohol. The concentrations of nitrate were measured by specific ion electrode and absorption spectrophotometry. The chemical composition of nitrate was identified by paper chromatography. The size distributions of nitrate were bimodal. One modal diameter was approximately 0.4-0.6 .mu.m, the other approximately 3-5 .mu.m. The shapes of the size distribution curves changed periodically with the season. From the analysis by paper chromatography, the submicron nitrate was NH4NO3 and the coarse nitrate was NaNO3. A strong relationship between size distributions of nitrate and meteorological conditions was found. The mechanisms of nitrate formation in the atmosphere are also discussed.
