Abstract EN
The present study reports the chemical composition and atmospheric salt load rainwater of Mosul city/ Nineveh Governorate / Iraq.
The sampling were done from October 2012 to March 2013.
Twenty six samples were collected and analyzed for pH, ion concentration (Ca++, Mg++, K+, Na+, CI-, HCO3-, SO4--) and electrical conductivity.
Total rainwater was 338.55mm.
The results show that the volume weighted mean (VWM) pH and electrical conductivity in the rainwater were 6.83 and 114.22µS.cm-1 respectively.
Cation and anion concentration took the following order : Ca++ ˃ Mg++ ˃ Na+ ˃ K+ and HCO3- ˃ CI- ˃ SO4=.
HCO3- and Ca++ contributed 65.3% of the total ions in the rainwater.
Equivalents ratios for different ionic components to sodium, revealed higher values in rainwater than that of seawater.
This indicates the dominance of non-marine in studied samples.
Analyses revealed that loads delivered from the fallen precipitation in the urban city of Mosul was about 0.1167kg cl-/m3 of chloride in rainwater which equal numerically to 395kg NaCI.
