HNO2 was investigated by long path optical absorption at three sites in Western Europe. It was definitely identified and measured in moderately polluted air at J¿lich. Mixing ratios as high as 0.8 ppb were observed before sunrise. After sunrise the HNO2 is photolyzed and considerable amounts of OH are produced. The formation of HNO2 is unclear and possible reactions are discussed.
