| Abstract | It is tentatively suggested that bulk rainwater at the rural site is normally affected by charged particles of anthropogenic origin not included in the list of the analyzed inorganic ions, and therefore, probably largely organic. The direct impact of storms virtually clears the urban air of such particles. This is believed to be due partly to the arrival of the maritime (unpolluted air) which flushes out the urban air, and partly due to the hoisting of severe storm signal (#8 or higher) which brings the usually hectic urban activities in the territory to a virtual halt. |
