Studying chemical constituents in rainwater can provide insights into the origin, characteristics, concentration, and processes involved clearing atmospheric pollutants. This study investigated spatial–temporal variations chemistry characteristics a rapidly urbanizing area of Shenzhen from 2007 to 2022. The mean pH during 2007–2022 was 5.12 ± 0.45, significantly higher than 4.51 recorded 2006. electrical conductivity (EC) rainfall 15.79 2.63 μS/cm showed progressive decrease over years. Human activities influenced trends SO42−, which decreased, while NO3− Cl− increased time. cations Ca2+ NH4+ Mg2+, Na+, K+ increased. In recent years, Na+ Cl−, typical sea-salt ions, became dominant with continually rising contribution. also revealed that has been affected by both sulfuric nitric acid rain, formally ushering acid-type era. Spatial chemicals were observed, especially for conductivity, attributed urban growth, distance coast, industrial development. Moreover, total ion concentration demonstrated high values spring low summer due significant effect precipitation.

Atmospheric precipitation acts as a significant pathway for pollutants from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface, and analyzing urban data on intensity, fallout regime, transfer patterns, solid particle content helps identify pollution sources. For first time in Moscow megacity, levels of soluble forms potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) atmospheric were studied during whole summer season May–September 2019. The concentrations Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Ce, Co, Cu, Fe, La, Li, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sn, Sr, Zn determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry atomic emission spectroscopy methods. research underscores crucial role washing PHEs out atmosphere. In May September, surpass warm-season average. Notable contamination stems elevated traffic vacations, extensive burning plant debris wood, pollen transport. Summer months are characterized by reduced forest agricultural fires, traffic, increased vegetation, leading lower PHE concentrations, especially July, with typical amount contributing pollutant dispersion. Elevated September observed due load, biomass burning, expansion unvegetated soil areas. Rainwater is enriched Zn, sourced vehicle emissions, particles, industry, construction dust, fires. Moderate enrichment Sn also occurs episodically. Regression analysis highlights particles’ major source rainwater, longer antecedent dry periods higher acidity level rain intensifying accumulation PHEs. Long-range transport plays lesser role, Southern Northern Europe, Western Siberia, central part European Russia meaningfully.
