CONT

En définitive, la quasi-totalité de l'acide nitrique formé dans l'atmosphère se transforme en aérosols minéraux (nitrates). [...] Ces substances se forment par réaction photochimique entre divers constituants des atmosphères polluées exposées à de fortes insolations. Elles ne peuvent donc guère apparaître que dans l'air de villes qui jouissent d'un climat méditerranéen.
