Abstract

Results of aerosols composition researches in the atmosphere of Mongolia, obtained during the Russian–Mongolian expedition in 2011 are presented. The chemical composition of aerosols in the Southern Gobi (Hanbogd and Dalanzadgad) during the winter period depends on emissions connected with the mining industry. It is revealed that long-range transport of pollutants from China is the main factor in formation of aerosols in Sainshand, where no large sources of anthropogenic emissions are situated. The comparative analysis of aerosols showed that the chemical composition of aerosol particles in Ulaanbaatar is considerably similar to aerosols in Beijing in winter time.
