Abstract

Industrial activity is a major source of sulphur compound emissions. The sulphuric acid and sulphur dioxide measurements in the vicinity of the industrial area and the oil refinery in Kilpilahti expressed great variation in concentration. The hourly mean values of concentration were categorized according to the area from where the air mass was travelling towards the measurement site. The statistical characteristics and diurnal behavior of emissions between these areas were significantly different.
