“…A difference between ion constituents in rainwater on natural and anthropogenic sites exists. In coastal areas precipitation is mainly dominated by marine aerosols with high concentrations of Na + and Cl − (Parungo et al 1990;Ceron et al 2002), whereas nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) compounds dominate rural, urban and agricultural areas and reflect anthropogenic influence, such as fossil fuels combustion, fertilizers application on fields or specific sewage treatments (Das et al 2005;Górka et al 2014). The chemical composition of precipitation was also determined in Poland (Jóźwiak and Kozłowski 2005;Kacorzyk et al 2012) including Wrocław and its vicinity (Kmieć et al 1994;Czyżyk and Rajmund 2011).…”

“…NO 2 showed a similar behavior. Atasta's information can be confirmed through an analysis of 1999-2005 monitoring information made on 2010 [30]. This analysis also concludes that all pollutants ambient concentrations are low.…”

An integral analysis of Air Pollution in the Gulf of Mexico was made considering pollutants emissions assessment and diagnosis; air pollution monitoring; and modeling of air pollution dispersion. Combustion sources considered in this work were: thermoelectric power plants and open flares; and pollutants considered were sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxides, particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ), Total suspended particles (TSP) and carbon monoxide (CO). This study made evident a lack of more recent information and a homogenization in emissions factors in order to know the conditions of air pollution in the Gulf of Mexico in a more reliable way.

“…Bravo et al (2000) found a significant contribution of nitric and sulphuric acids to rain acidity in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting from an air mass movement to the west. Likewise, Parungo et al (1990) reported an enrichment factor value of 10 for SO 4 2-, as well as, NO 3 -high levels in the Gulf of Campeche. However, Muriel et al (1998) concluded that according to meteorological conditions prevailing in that zone, air pollutants released from offshore platforms for gas and oil exploration and production might be transported and deposited on Tabasco coastline.…”

The purpose of this research was to study the chemical composition of rainwater to assess the impact of marine aerosol and anthropogenic emissions by using back air-mass trajectories. Fieldwork was done from July to November 2004, in a coastal site probably impacted by gas and oil industry in Campeche, Mexico: San Antonio Cardenas. Na + , Cl -, and Mg 2+, were the most abundant ions, being sea-salt aerosol their unique source. A significant portion of K + and Ca 2+ originated from non-sea-salt sources; and the sulphate excess exceeded the background level reported for remote marine sites, suggesting that besides of marine aerosol, there was a significant contribution of SO 4 2-from anthropogenic sources. NO 3 -concentrations in San Antonio Cardenas exceeded the background level reported for coastal sites with minimal anthropogenic influence and showed a significant correlation with SO 4 2-, suggesting a common source. Agricultural practices are null, for this reason NH 4 + levels were low. Mean pH value was 4.64, this acidity showed a good correlation with SO 4 2-and NO 3 -levels, and with the local meteorology. A sour gas recompression plant located 10 km at NE from San Antonio Cardenas was identified as the main source of this strong acidity.
