In a recent review of this topic [B.C. Garett, Science 303 (2004) 1146] the emphasis was on some recent experiments, in which it was found that some anions accumulate at the air/water interface and not in the bulk, as usually happens to the cations, and on some simulations which explained those positive surface adsorption excesses. Because a large number of these experiments could be explained on the basis of some simple physical models proposed by the authors for the interaction between the ions and the air/water interface [M. Manciu, E. Ruckenstein, Adv. Colloid Interface Sci. 105 (2003) 63; Adv. Colloid Interface Sci. 112 (2004) 109; Langmuir 21 (2005) 11312], those models are reviewed in the present note, the goal being to draw attention to them.
