This study was carried out to investigate the phenomena of acid precipitation. The pH value, electro conductivity and major anions (sulfate, nitrate and chloride) were measured by automatic acid rain monitor and ion chromatography at 5 points in Seoul area from Jan. to Dec. 1988. 1. The acidity of rainfall was in order winter (4.31) spring (4.77) fall (4.94) summer (5.31). Rainfall with a pH of less than 5.6 was appeared 83.2 percent. 2. The range of the highest appearence frequency rate both at Hannam-dong and Songsu-dong was from pH 4.6 to 5.0 and appeared 30.7 percent and 38.3 percent respectively, Bang-i-dong was 36.3 percent in the ranged from pH 4.1 to 4.5 and Guro and Ssangmun-dong were 26 percent and 30.3 percent in the ranged from pH 5.1 to 5.5 respectively. 3. The sulfate and nitrate ion concentration in earlier rainwater ranged from 0.1 ppm to 50.2 ppm and from 0.01 ppm to 15.8 respectively. The earlier rainwaters were generally more acidic than the after rainwaters. 4. The order of the major anion concentration in rainwater was $SO_4^{2-} > Cl^- > NO_3^-$ and the acidity of it was more effective by sulfate ion than others. The correlation between pH value and anions concentration was shown positive correlationship at Guro-dong and Bang-i-dong and negative correlation at Hannam-dong but not at the other sites.
