| Research Abstract |
Chemical ionization mass spectrometry was applied to the measurement of nitrous acid in the atmosphere. By optimizing reaction conditions for the chemical ionization and increasing the signal intensity of the primary ion, the limit of detection of 40 pptv can be obtained for an integration time of 1 minute. Possibility of the interferences from other atmospheric species was investigated by laboratory experiments and ab initio calculations. The interference from nitrogen dioxide in humid air was experimentally quantified. Preliminary measurements of nitrous acid were carried out in Sapporo city.
