Abstract:

Some results of measurements of the structure characteristics and chemical composition of aerosol of volcanic origin carried out with the balloonborne, two—stage impactors are discussed. These results allowed us to reveal some peculiarities in the microstructure and element composition of the aerosol. Such elements as As, Sb, Hg, Au, Cu are indicative of the presence of volcanic substance in atmospheric aerosol and thus can be used for studying the spreading of volcanic aerosols.
