Abstract
The existence of oxalate (COO)2= in tropospheric aerosols and in precipitation has been demonstrated using ion chromatography. Mixing ratios have been observed up to 50 pptv in air samples and 0.3 ppm in precipitation. Correlation of airborne oxalate with airborne nitrate suggests a pollution source.Keywords
