Atmosphere electric criterion of aerosol and radioactive pollution of the atmosphere
- Southern Federal University, Russia
A method for aerosol and radioactive pollution control of the atmosphere
on the basis of experimental data on light ion concentration and Rn-222
volumetric activity in the near ground air is discussed in the paper.
Studying the character of the dependence between these values, it is
possible to conclude about the presence of aerosol in the atmosphere and
about the infusion of radionuclides non-characteristic for natural
conditions into the atmospheric air. Comparative analysis of the data,
obtained in complex expeditions carried out for several years in
Rostov-on-Don, in several points of rural districts of Rostov Region, and
at Mt. Cheget (vicinity of Mt. Elbrus), was performed. The calculated
values of the criterion correspond, in general, to aerosol and radioactive
situation in each observation point.
