Atmosphere electric criterion of aerosol and radioactive pollution of the atmosphere

  1. 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.
