Emission of sulphur compounds was absorbed from the atmosphere to an alkaline surface of a filter containing sodium carbonate in the region of Nitra - Malanta. Sulphates were determined by titration with ethanolic solution of Ba(C104)2. Results from January 1st - December 31st 1999 show that mean S02 concentrations at Nitra were 18.3 ug.m-3 S02 and 15.4 mg ■ m-2- d-1 SO2. The average (January 1st - December 31st 2000) value of area fallout was 11.6 mg m-2 d -1 S02 and the value of content concentration was 14.9 ug m-3 S02. The area fallout of emission of S is connected with the given meteorological situation (precipitation, average temperature, direction and speed of wind). The fact was confirmed by the results of our experiment.
