Abstract:

We describe here some experimental results on ion composition of atmospheric aerosol (WSPA) and wet depositions (WD) in different areas of West Siberia. The distribution of ion equivalents of WSPA and WD is not equal, especially for Cl^–, SO^2–₄ and NH⁺₄, and varies in winter and summer. High content of lithophylic cations is observed. These peculiarities of ion composition of WSPA and WD are exhibited at the observation points in the south of the Novosibirsk region. We can conclude that these peculiarities are caused by the atmospheric transport of soil salts from the areas of the Northern Kazakhstan and Aral Sea.
