Acid precipitation in Delhi, India
Abstract Precipitation samples were collected on event basis at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, during 1991. pH, major cations and anions of the samples were determined and the ionic balance was calculated. In two consecutive months (August and September) during monsoon, the samples were found to be acidic. Although cations and anions decreased considerably, the hydrogen ion concentration increased with the increase of precipitation amounts during these months. Winds blowing from industrial areas in the E/SE may be the possible cause for acidic precipitation in this season.
