| Research Abstract |
Wet deposition was collected every month from 1990 to 1995 at Sakata, Shinjo, Yamagata, Ohfunato, Okushiri and Yonezawa in Tohoku District, Japan. And Dry deposition was collected with High Volume Air Sampler from 1992 to 1995 at Tsuruoka and Yamagata. Sulfur isotope ratios of sulfate were low in summer and high in winter, linked with the contribution of sea-salt sulfate. The sulfur isotope ratio in deposition in less than that of seawater sulfate (^+20.3%). This result suggested that the main sources of sulfate in this area did not come from sea spray sulfate. The sulfur isotope ratios for non-seasalt sulfate show seasonal variation (low in summer and high in winter). It is conclude that sulfate in the deposition contains sulfur-oxides from human activities of Asian continent.
