Mean soluble component concentrations in the air appear higher during the rime events than during the fog events at Milesovka. We recorded larger mean particle size of insoluble compounds in fog water than in rime water samples. Some elements in insoluble particles like Ca, Cl, C, Cu, Ag were present largely in fog, and the others, like Fe, Al, Si, Ti, prevailed in rime.

Comparison of chemical composition of throughfall and deposited precipitation
Chaloupecký, Pavel ; Špičková, Jitka ; Fišák, Jaroslav ; Skřivan, Petr
Since June 2004 throughfall samples in beech and spruce vegetation have been taken at the observatory Milesovka. Ever since 1998 fog water samples have been taken there as well. In this paper are compared the concentrations of main ions and trace elements in throughfall and in deposited precipitation. The concentrations of main ions and trace elements in throughfal are primarily affected by the volume of samples. The highest concentrations of monitored sustances in throughfall were recorded in September and in October when the lowest rainfall totals were measured. The concentrations of monitored sustances were in throughfall mostly higher in spruce vegetation in comparison with beech vegetation. It is probably due to the thicker treetop in spruce vegetation on Milesovka observatory. Due to the thicker treetop a smaller volume of throughfall is let fall and the substances from ambient air are captured more effectively in comparison with beech vegetation. In the case of main ions the lowest concentrations were measured in fog water samples. For trace elements wasn´t data. From comparison with reference locality Lesni potok is obvious that concentrations of monitored sustances in throughfall on Milesovka exceed sharply concentrations in locality Lesni potok. This difference is considerably higher by spruce vegetation in comparison to beech vegetation which indicate that it is necessary take not only local air quality into account but also type of vegetation and thick of treetop which can very significantly contribute to the chemical composition of throughfall.

Pollutant concentrtion in fog-water at Kopisty (1999 – 2004)
Fišák, Jaroslav ; Chaloupecký, Pavel ; Fottová, D.
In this contribution, results of our studies devoted to analyses of fog water samples collected at the meteorological observatory over the period of 1999 - 2004 are summarized. The study deals with the parameters: conductivity, acidity and following selected ions: NH4+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, F-, Cl-, NO3- and SO42-. Overall, the total concentration of selected ions was remarkably decreasing during the period 2000 - 2004. Specifically, we found out an increase in the cation fraction for NH4+ and Ca2+, and a decrease in the anion NO3- fraction in the mean annual sample.
