Nitric acid and ammonia in urban and rural locations
Abstract Measurements of ammonia, nitric acid and particulate nitrate were made at urban sites in Commerce City, Colorado, and Warren, Michigan and at rural locations near Abbeville, Louisiana and Luray, Virginia. The average ammonia and nitric acid concentrations over all sites were 1.7 ppb and 0.7 ppb, respectively. Diurnal patterns, determined at the Abbeville site, suggested a photochemical mechanism for the production of nitric acid and local sources for ammonia. Seasonal data collected in Warren, Michigan showed ammonia concentrations were lowest in the winter. This appears to be caused by the temperature dependence of the ammonium nitrate equilibrium constant. Ammonia and nitric acid concentrations at the other sites were not in agreement with the concentrations predicted from the ammonium nitrate equilibrium constant.
