Fortyfour sequential rain samples were collected in three rain events that were sampled in Istanbul-Turkey making use of a sequential rain sampler. Concentration of the main cations insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K+, Ca2+, Na+, and Mg2+); and main anions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cl-, SO42-, and NO3-); were analyzed. The ratio of the mean Ca2+ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.85); non-sea salt concentration to the mean total concentration led to the conclusion that most of the Ca2+ came from soil. This ratio for SO42- ranged between 0.49 and 0.98, indicates a possible conclusion that the domestic heating and industrial activities were the main source of this ion.
