<abstract>
<p>China hosts a large number of industrial parks in densely populated areas, where pollutant emissions turn surrounding lands into high-deposition-load hotspots. Long-term exposure may alter physicochemical properties of soils and vegetation, leading to complex sink-source transitions of land surface. The lack of local flux data impedes integrated air-soil-water pollution control. We developed a Relaxed Eddy Accumulation system capable of simultaneous flux measurements of eight inorganic species (HNO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;, HONO, SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, HCl, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, chloride). System characterization showed detection limits of 6.1&amp;times;10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;ndash;2.4&amp;times;10&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;mu;g m&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt; s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; and flux precisions of 3.0 %&amp;ndash;29.5 % with main uncertainty contributions from mass analysis and lag time inaccuracy. Flux measurement conducted at a vegetable cropland adjacent to chemical industry facilities revealed that HONO and nitrate fluxes at this site were 1&amp;ndash;2 orders of magnitude higher than those reports in the literature. Bidirectional fluxes of the species indicate the cropland acts as both source and sink; but winter average showed net emission fluxes only for HONO and nitrite (mean daily 53.0 and 11.5 &amp;mu;mol m&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt; d&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;). Gross upward emission fluxes of HNO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; and HONO were 1.1 &amp;plusmn; 0.9 &amp;mu;g m&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt; s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; and 0.4 &amp;plusmn; 0.4 &amp;mu;g m&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt; s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;, respectively, during the winter observation period. HNO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; gross emissions were enhanced by elevated turbulence, while HONO emissions were promoted at lower ambient temperatures. This study provides observational constraints for acidic species flux parameterization over industrial-impacted croplands and informs air pollution control and agro-ecological protection strategies.</p>
