Light absorption and extinction coefficient of atmospheric aerosols at and near the Uji campus of Kyoto University were measured with the integrating plate method and the telephotometer. Combustion processes were a major source of the aerosols, and a considerable light absorption is remarkable at the ground level of Uji area. The estimated single scattering albedo during this measuring period (September 13 to 22, 1993) for the aerosols was ranged from 0.6 to 0.7, and less than the critical single scattering albedo, 0.85.
