Summary New measurements of SO2 and sulfate aerosol concentrations were obtained during April, 1974, in a series of observations made along the French Mediterranean coast, inland and at sea. By comparing the variations in the concentrations of these substances with variations in the concentrations of Radon 222 and Lead 212, which were measured concurrently, we have found that the residence time for SO2 in the Mediterranean marine atmosphere is approximately one-half day. This figure is an upper limit, valid for the calm weather conditions which prevailed during the observations.
