Abstract:
In order to examine the chemical characteristics and variations of atmospheric precipitation of Kunming, the parameters of rainfall, pH, electrical conductivity and concentrations of anions(SO
42-, NO
3-, Cl
-,F
-) and cations (K
+, Na
+, Ca
2+, Mg
2+, NH
4+)were analyzed with samples collected from January to December2019. The results indicated that the rainfall was mainly concentrated from June to October in 2019 with 87.6% of the whole year. There was no acid rain during the whole year, because the range of pH values was from 6.93to 7.70. SO
42- was the major anion with 53.7% of the total ions while Ca
2+ was the main cations with 65.4% of all.Compared to 2018, the concentration of SO
42- reduced while the concentration of Ca
2+ increased significantly.
