Abstract
Twenty-six rainwater samples were collected from a sampling site situa ted on the Southeastern French Mediterranean coast, over a 9-month per iod in 1988-1989, to evaluate the atmospheric inputs of trace metals t o the Western Mediterranean. Cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV) was applied to samples before and after UV irradiation to determine the co ncentrations of dissolved Ni and Co. Results indicated the existence o f very stable dissolved organic Ni and Co complexes.
