             abstract = "The data set presented here comes out from an active denuder 
                         sampling system developed to quantify the content of reactive 
                         nitrogen species (Nr), hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfur dioxide 
                         (SO2) as well as the major cations, in the gas and particle 
                         phases, present in the atmosphere of different regions of South 
                         America, mostly located in Brazil. The data presented here were 
                         obtained using a low cost sampling system, named DELTA (Long Term 
                         Atmospheric Sampling) and was developed at the Center for Ecology 
                         and Hydrology in Edinburgh in 1995 (Sutton, et al., 2001; Tang et 
                         al., 2009). This system was based on the method described by Ferm 
                         (1979) and initially was used to sample reactive nitrogen species 
                         being subsequently extended to the other species for the gas and 
                         particle phases. These data set may aid and complement studies 
                         about the understanding of different ecosystems functioning in 
                         regard to the increase of reactive nitrogen deposition as well as 
                         to a better understanding of the interaction and coupling of the N 
                         cycle with the one from other species such as C, S and P. This is 
                         important because the concentration of reactive nitrogen species 
                         variation within different terrestrial environments is closely 
                         linked to environmental changes, the contamination of aquatic and 
                         terrestrial ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity. The 
                         analytical results were produced in the Laboratory of 
                         Biogeochemical Cycles Research (LPBio in Portuguese) of the Earth 
                         System Science Center of the National Institute for Space Research 
                         (CCST/INPE). The laboratory participates of the International 
                         Intercalibration Program (http://www.qasac-americas.org/), in 
                         which the chemical analysis results were validated using the 
                         samples and results of the program. The objective of the 
                         International Intercalibration Program is to ensure the analytical 
                         quality of the laboratories participating in the monitoring 
                         networks linked to the World Meteorological Organization - WMO 
                         (Meneghetti, 2017). The statistical analyzes for the qualification 
                         of the data set were done with the Statgraphics® software. This 
                         work aims to disseminate a data set obtained in the project
