| Abstract | Meteorological and geological factors affecting the pH and ionic concentrations of precipitation were investigated from Jecheon City, Korea. The air quality of the study area is affected by two contrasting stationary sources: 1) a coal-fired power plant to the east-northeast and 2) limestone quarries and cement-manufacturing factories to the east to south-southeast of Jecheon. The temporal change of rainwater chemistry is affected by the interaction between acidic gases and alkaline substances from the above two sources. Accordingly, rainwater pH at a city center widely varies from 4.9 to 8.3. Acidic gases from the power plant are likely to acidify the rainwater pH. As the prevailing wind direction during rainfall events shifted to ENE-SSE, rainwater pH at the city center rapidly increased to >6.5 (up to 7.8). Concomitantly, ionic concentrations (esp., Ca, K, and Na) increased sharply, especially when winds are brown from SE, probably due to major influences of particles coming from limestone quarries. The enrichment factor analyses of acidity and cations also indicate that the acidic components in precipitation are mostly neutralized by limestone particles. In addition, rainwater chemistry showed a spatial variation as a function of the direction and distance from the above two sources. Our results demonstrate a good example of competing roles between the anthropogenic acidic source and the geologic alkaline source. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
