Ion Chromatography

The Ion Chromatography (IC) analyses (which meet or exceed WMO quality criteria) are carried out principally by three different methods in order to measure:

• the chemical composition of rainfall (major organic and inorganic species)
• the filters used in the passive gas samplers in order to determine the concentrations of SO₂, NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃ and O₃
• the soluble and organic aerosol collected on teflon filters

The laboratory is equipped with the following:

• 3 DIONEX chromatographs (ICS 1000, DX100 et DX 500)
• the Chroméléon DIONEX Aquisition programme
• DIONEX automatic passes
