Abstract
The results of microscopic analysis of 114 samples of solid atmospheric precipitation (snow) taken during two cold periods (2015/2016 and 2016/2017) in the south of Western Siberia for the presence of bioaerosols are presented. With the use of trajectory, synoptic and cartographic analyses, the main regions were identified from which pollen grains and algae arrived with air masses and precipitated with atmospheric precipitation.
