Measurements of formaldehyde in rain water and on the atmospheric aerosol were performed at several sampling sites in Western Europe. The results are summarized in Table 1. From the data it is concluded that aerosol contributes little to the formaldehyde observed in rain water, and that formaldehyde entering rain water is fairly uniformly distributed along the 50 degree latitude, at least in Western Europe and the Atlantic ocean.
