The deposition of sulphur and sodium in rainwater in the coastal region of Kenya

In a previous study (Bromfield, Debenham & Hancock, 1980) sulphur deposited in rainwater was measured in central Kenya some 450 km from the Indian Ocean. The study reported here was complementary and measured sulphur deposited in 1979 at the Kenya coast, adjacent to the Indian Ocean, in a small but important agricultural area. Sodium was also measured since it is an element of marine origin, present in air in particulate form, and can be compared with sulphur which is largely present in the air in gaseous form.
