abstract = {A sensitive and selective measurement technique for the
determination of tropospheric formaldehyde and acetaldehyde
in background air is described . The method is based on the
derivatization of aldehydes with 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine
(DNPH) . The derivative aldehyde hydrazones are then
separated using high performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC) and detected at 355 nm using a conventional HPLC
UV/VIS absorbance detector. Aldehydes were collected with
Waters Sep-Pak C®18 DNPHcoated cartridges using a portable
sampling system . The apparatus proved to be easy and
convenient to operate, even in remote clean air locations
where aldehyde mixing ratios and their natural variations
are likely to be of special interest in air chemistry. The
method was used for ground-based measurements of
formaldehyde and acetaldehyde during an uninterupted
two-week period in August 1990 in Jülich . Ground level
measurements in Jülich for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde
were shown to vary from 0 .5 to 7 ppb and 0 .1 to 2 .0 ppb,
respectively . Diurnal mean mixing ratios of, formaldehyde
and acetaldehyde were 2 .8 +/® 1 .5 ppb and 0 .7 -+/® 0 .4
ppb respectively . Significant diurnal patterns were
observed with maximum mixing ratios in the early afternoons,
and minimum mixing ratios shortly before sunrise . A
potential interference from organic hydroperoxides is also
discussed. ~n~'r cr ai6~ 9 ~ Lv~ vr.m. $ re measurements up

methods for aldehyde measurements in the free troposphere .
These test flights indicated that formaldehyde vertical
profiles can be dependent on inversion height and cloud
frequency . In-cloud formaldehyde measurements tended to be
lower than gas-phase measurements},
