Abstract:

Concentrations of 10 ions (H+, Mg2+, Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca2+, and ) were measured in the soluble fractions of atmospheric aerosols sampled at some sites of East Siberia, Far East, and Mongolia. Measurements were carried out in the rural area and industrial cities of the continent, in the Gobi Desert, and in the background areas of highlands (Mondy). A general logarithmic type of functions of concentration distribution was stated for each ion according to a number of samples. Geometric mean concentrations of each ion had sufficiently close absolute values at all sites, except Mondy, whereas at the background site they were approximately 4.5 times lower. The sequence in concentration distribution of 10 ions (H+, Mg2+, Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca2+, и was practically similar everywhere including highlands. There are preconditions for the construction of universal models of ionic composition of soluble aerosols on the Asian continent.
