Scientific paper

Correlations of interstellar gas-phase depletions with hydrogen column density N(H), and with mean line-of-sight space density bar-n(H) = N(H)/r, are investigated for 14 elements. For the 6 most depleted elements, correlations ith bar-n(H) are clearly stronger than with N(H). In general, the survey supports the proposal that depletion is mainly governed by density-dependent processes. It also suggests that depletion occurs in relatively low density gas as well as in dense clouds.
