<abstract>
<p>In order to estimate the anthropogenic influence of gas and aerosol
      emissions from the Petroleum Industry in maritime zones with clouds of small
      vertical extent, a numerical 1D Eulerian cloud-chemical model with detailed
      microphysics (Alfonso and Raga, 2002) is used to simulate the influence of
      water soluble organic compounds (WSOC) and organic+inorganic gas emissions
      on cloud development. Following Mircea et al. (2002), we tested the sensitivity of the cloud and precipitation development in the classical
      inorganic case (CIC) and the inorganic+organic case (IOC) with respect to CCN compositions. The results indicate an increase in the droplet
      concentration for the IOC, and a delay in the development of precipitation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The pH spectral evolution was studied during both the development and
      precipitation stages. The influence of the diffusion of formic acid and its
      generation by oxidation of hydrated formaldehyde in the aqueous phase result
      in a reduction in the pH of precipitation in the range between 0.05 and 0.15
      pH units (from 1 to 3%) for the high ambient SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; concentration
      (20 ppb) and between 0.2&amp;ndash;0.5 pH units (from 4 to 10%) for the low ambient
      SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; concentration (1 ppb) case.</p>
