Abstract
Rainwater samples were collected in Grenoble during 1993-1995. Concentratio n measurements of toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene and o-xylene have been ca rried out concurrently in the gas phase and in the rainwater during precipi tation events. Results obtained suggest that TEX scavenging is predominant at low temperature and during low rain intensity precipitation.
