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