Abstract:

The amount of sulphate ions (SO42-) present in the fog samples, collected by different techniques, has been calculated. Gravimetric method was applied by which the sulphate ions in acidified sample solution were made to react with Barium chloride solution to form Barium sulphate. From this Barium sulphate, the amount of sulphate ions was determined. The analytical data showed that the concentration of sulphate ions varied from 12.34 to 152.50 ppm in the collected samples. The main objective was to determine the atmospheric pollution load caused by the sulphate ions. Concentration of SO42- ions was higher in urban areas than in rural ones.
