“…Despite the daily sampling routine and chemical analysis performed as soon as possible after sampling, the obtained results may be subjected to an unknown error. Nitrites undergo easy and rapid transformation into nitrates under favorable oxidation conditions (Kurzyca et al, 2009). The results might be understated.…”

This paper describes the comparison of atmospheric (rain and snow) versus occult (dew and frost) precipitation in terms of scavenging of nitrogen compounds (inorganic and organic) from the atmosphere. Exceptional cases of heavy fog, black ice, hail, and heavy rain were also described. Apart from genesis and morphology of these phenomena, various factors affecting precipitation affinity to scavenging of airborne nitrogen compounds from the atmosphere were investigated. A study simultaneously performed at two sampling points (lowland Central Europe, 30 km away from each other, urban vs. woodland) indicated statistically significant differences in hydrological conditions between areas. Local conditions (urban heat island vs. humid woodland) more likely determined precipitation form, amount, and frequency than the air masses characteristic in the upper troposphere. This (apart from pollution sources) significantly affects the deposition load of nitrogen per area unit. The highest values were obtained with atmospheric precipitation (mainly rainwater) at about 9 and 5 kg N/ha/year in the city and woodland areas, respectively. Nevertheless, the investigated affinity of precipitation to scavenging airborne nitrogen from the atmosphere elicited progressively changing loads of nitrogen per volume unit as follows: dew > rain bulk > snow bulk > rain wet only > frost > snow wet only.

Synoptic conditions of extreme rainwater pollution episodes, evidenced by maximum values of parameters measured in the protected area of Wielkopolski National Park (western-central Poland), were analysed in this study. . It was assumed, that in winter, western advection of Atlantic air masses was the most frequent aerosol and pollution transport scenario for the investigated area. In summer the most heavily pollution occur at the intensified meridional flow over the central Europe, indicating advection of cooler air from northern Europe and the North Sea. In most of cases, the weather conditions causing extreme concentration of examined pollutants, were determined by the movement of weather fronts over considerable parts of Poland and by precipitation caused by those fronts.
