Abstract

The asymptotic moments of the concentration of a pollutant subject to rainout and dry removal are given. Both the lengths of the wet and dry periods and the wet and dry removal rates are allowed to be random, although the removal rate is assumed to be fixed within any one wet or dry period. The results hold in a more general setting than removal processes, so its is hoped that they will be applicable to other problems.
