N2 - Nowadays, acid rain is generally noticed as a global environmental problem. While acid rain has very much to do with the air pollutants, the relation between air pollution and chemical constituents in precipitation is not understood clearly yet. It is important to measure a variation of ion concentration in precipitation in short term for understanding the formation mechanism of acid rain. Therefore, an automatic continuous measurement system of chemical constituents in precipitation was developed and put into practical use in this study. The developed system was able to collect automatically every 1mm of precipitation and analyze major ions within 20 minutes.
