Abstract
The elemental and phase composition of the surface layers of atmospheric aerosol (AA) particles sampled in winter 1998 in Irkutsk, Listvyanka and Ulan-Ude, is investigated by means of secondary ion mass spectrometry. It is stated that the source of AA is erosion of aluminosilicate soil. The surface of AA particles is covered by adsorbed hydrocarbons, nitrogen-containing compounds and partially by organic particles with a size of about 30 nm.
