Abstract

Aerosol field sampling was conducted at Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia in September 2009 and November 2009. The samples were analyzed for anions using ion chromatography. The results indicated that the anion concentrations of aerosol at the cloud-shrouded mountain were remarkable. The clouds at the mountain did not have F– and the concentrations of Cl–, NO2– and NO3– were low, in spite of the sampling duration being 24 times that of the other samplings. The result implied that the clouds had some effect on the aerosol concentration.
