The uptake of NO 3 and N 2 O 5 to Saharan dust, ambient aerosols investigated using a novel and simple relative rate method with simultaneous detection of both NO 3 and N 2 O 5 . The use of cavity ring down spectroscopy to detect both trace gases enabled the measurements to be carried out at low mixing ratios ( 15. A value of γ (NO 3 ) /γ (N 2 O 5 ) ≈ 1.5–3 was obtained when using candle generated soot. The rel- 10 ative rate obtained for Saharan dust can be placed on an absolute basis using our recently determined value of γ (N 2 O 5 ) = 1 × 10 − 2 to give γ (NO 3 ) = 9 × 10 − 3 , which is significantly smaller than the single previous value. With the present uptake coe ffi cient, reaction of NO 3 with mineral dust will generally not contribute significantly to its NO 3 loss in the boundary atmosphere or to the nitration of mineral dust. 15
