| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The photolysis of tropospheric nitrous acid (HONO) has been recognized as a potentially important source of OH radicals. Atmospheric HONO could originate from both direct emissions and photochemical formation in the atmosphere. Here, we determined the triple oxygen isotopes of HONO because the Δ17O values of HONO produced via photochemical formation can be expected to have positive values while little anomaly should be expected for HONO emitted directly from various sources on the earth surface, which enable us to quantify their relative importance on the atmospheric HONO. Periodical sampling of atmospheric HONO was carried out at Sapporo and Nagoya, Japan. The Δ17O value of HONO was determined by combining sensitive determination method on isotope compositions of NO2- with filter-pack method in which HONO was collected as NO2- on alkaline impregnated filters. The estimated mixing ratios of HONO derived from secondary formation were higher in Nagoya than in Sapporo.
