Abstract
The process of aerosol formation during aldehyde photolysis is investigated. It is shown that atmospheric aldehydes serve as an efficient source of organic aerosol. Measurements of aldehyde concentrations in urban atmosphere were carried out, the scale of aerosol formation processes was characterized. It was established that the possibility of photochemical aerosol formation cannot be neglected in adequate estimations of the ecological consequences of atmospheric pollution with organic compounds.
