Atmospheric bulk and wet deposition samples were collected simultaneously at the background coastal site in the Eastern Middle Adriatic region in order to assess the impact of major ions (Cl , NO , SO , Na , K , NH , Mg , Ca ) on deposition acidity and distinguish the main sources. Higher ion levels...
